Google on Xampp or WAMP. Both of them are decent. I use Xampp and it is pretty much a download and one click to install. All the features you list and more.

XAMPP is good and the best one out there for us noobs but smtp is not guarenteed.

Will i be able to use the mail() php function?greetz, StYn0!

You should be able to. I have written plenty of scripts that i tested with XAMPP that involved the php mail() function. However, this does not mean it works on a setups and configurations of ones pc. The easiest way to find out is just to install xampp and send yourself an email.

i would advise you to not run your own server, I would just by hosting

try searching about ubuntu server. Its a good start if you really want to learn how to create your own server. Its not that complicated to learn and its for free. So you can just download it in their website. Its very easy to install and it is bundled with apache and all other stuff. You can change to other OS if you want to afterwards.

I've used WAMP and it fitted my needs. I've also heard that XAMPP is good too so try it out, although I've never tried it. I've definitely learned a lot about PHP and MySQL and such while running my own server so keep learning and soaking up knowledge. Just start reading some guides/tutorials on how to do certain things and you'll find it easier and easier to do yourself.

i used wamp and i used no-ip to get a free domain but instead of my home page my router page comes and i also have problem with mail function.
does any one have any idea.

You most likely have Network Address Translation set incorrectly in your router.The problem is your router has two sides to it, one is on the insider and is probably 192.168.1.1 or similar, and the other in the internet which will have a completely different IP. no-ip is seeing your ROUTERS IP address (the internet one) and thus your domain just goes straight to the router. What you need to do is tell your router to show your computers ip address instead. I Cant help much as im not sure how to go about that, but you probably need to disable NAT on your router or setup some sort of port forwarding so all requests on port 80 go straight through the router to your PC/server
