SQL is Microsoft. MySQL is open source. (http://www.mysql.com) The best free resource available is http://www.php.net which will help you with *both* PHP and MySQL.
Do not install MySQL on your OSX machine. I've found it to be very buggy! PHP seems to install fine. But hey, USE YOUR SERVER. If your server has extra security options set don't get annoyed and resort to coding on your own box. Instead get used to it. Understand what the security settings are and why they're in place.
Because one day you will be working for a client that's using a server with those settings in place. You won't have access to them. You'll just have to deal. Either you'll be the guy who has to stay up all night rewriting the entire site's code, or your code will already account for these issues and you'll be fine.
Your choice. Word.
