Mysql is not related to/depenend on IIS. Basic installation is quite simple: follow the instructions of the installer.
php/iis: http://de2.php.net/install.windows.iis
phpmyadmin: download latest version from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php and follow instructions in Documentation.html (included in the archive)

Download and install PHP (http://www.php.net/).
Download, install and configure MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/).
Download, unpack, read the docs and configure phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net/).

For PHP and MySQL I would recommend the Windows installers. I am one of the few that does recommend this, but I have not ever had a problem with the installers, so I recommend them highly.

Thanks for the help, however I am having a problem.

When I try to configure the mysql server it gets all the way to the end where you have to start the service. However when I try to start the service it comes up with the error:
'Cannot start windows service'

Any ideas?

Well, I have re-installed mysql and now when I configure my server for the first time and get the the 'execute' bit I get an error that says 'Could not start the service MySQL'.

Is this the same error I was getting before.

No, this time I think it is telling you that it cannot start the MySQL server. You may want to search the MySQL web sites for starting MySQL.
