Exciting news! There are already some people doing exciting HTML5 games work http://boingboing.net/arcade/ > I have heard of Wamp Server.

WampServer looks like it comes with PHP ("Wamp" comes from "LAMP," which means "Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python.") If you want to use PHP, you may want to insulate yourself from writing MySQL queries and use an O/RM which allows you to use your programming language's built-in primitives to read and write to your database. In any case, from Firebug, you will probably want to be invoking PHP scripts on your server via XHR. I recommend using jQuery to make XHRs. Here is the documentation for one of the APIs provided: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ There are other "easier" APIs which allow you to write less by making more assumptions. Be sure to explore how you'll be communicating with the server!
