Uniform Server (full name: The Uniform Server, formerly called Mini Server, AKA: UniServerZ, UniServer Zero, Uniform Server Zero) is a free, open-source, easy-to-use and lightweight WAMP (Apache + MySQL + PHP + Perl) local server solution for Windows, specially made for local web development.

Using the three free, open-source and original system components (PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin) to develop, test, and deploy Web applications locally is almost the only best option available at the moment. Thereinto, Apache Web server and PHP hypertext preprocessor are preinstalled on Mac. But they are not enabled by default, and the pre-installed version of PHP lacks many utility features. The MySQL needs to be installed and configured separately. Unless you are able to expertly use command lines in Terminal, installing the one-stop solution MAMP (PRO) is much simpler and more efficient.
