web programming (PHP) on a Mac

Hey,

I just got a iBook G4 with OS X tiger installed, yeah dont ask why I went with the mac, I had to for work, but anyways, I want to be able to work on some of my projects while I am on the road so i was wondering if someone could give me some heads up on how to get started. I want to be able to install PHP, MySQL and Apache, I am not sure if it is possible, because I havent been able to find any install files for it.
So if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Also what is a good program for writing code on this thing? preferably something like (I am coming from a Linux box) Kate, or vim or something like that.
thanks,
cheers,

Trevor

For editing code:
You have vi installed already (like vim without all the cool stuff) as well as a terminal version of emacs. The Cocoa version of emacs looks beatiful on OS X. I'm not sure if there's a gvim port.

For installing software:
I've heard good things about fink for installing Free software.

i think php/mysql/apache are installed by default on osx.. all you have to do is enable your web server.

bbedit is good for mac.
