My server is running Apache with PHP. Works fine.

What do you mean, can you run this on an OSX client? PHP is entirely server side, so it must be run on a server. You can set up apache on your laptop, though. Hope this helps.

Well from what I hear apache comes included in OSX client. I need a local testing environment, something like IIS or personal web server on PC's but for the mac. I was just wondering for testing perposes.

I think you're right about OS X and apache. If you get that set up, then your computer is a server and you'll be good to go.
