Have you tried a package of them all, like XAMPP. It makes the installation easy.

do i need to install all the components and will it set everything the way i need it
do you think the lite version will do
The lite version installs Apache, PHP and MySQL, usually sufficient for most developers.
Do you have any special requirements?

i don't think i have any special requirements..i want to upload and store files on a database with hopefully a bit of encrytion and compression
Encrytion and compression are available in PHP 5.1 and newer

Can i encrypt and compress a file and store it on a data base or does php only support the transfer of compressed and encrpted data from the client to the server
Zip should be no problem: http://nl3.php.net/zip
There is only encryption in PHP, mainly used for passwords, no decryption.
Option are to write your own encryption, purchase software or use password protection provided by Apache.

So using PHP running on an apache server i can compress a file and send it to a MySQL database..but a can't encrypt the file unless i write my own code to do so
