I am not a PHP dev, but I believe installing "php5", "php5-mysql" and "mysql-server" should drag in most of what you need to get started (including libapache2-mod-php5, mysql-client, etc). This would let you do any/all testing locally. You could do it all on the web server with an ssh session, if you wanted to though (you wouldn't do that with an in use service, but if you only set it up for testing, it's fine).
