What’s a good way to approaching this? I would like to create a local database, just on my laptop (for now), so that I can teach myself some PHP and how to interact with databases.
… preferably a free approach…

If you have a Mac, it’s fairly easy, because Apache 2 is preinstalled, MySQL is fairly straightforward to install, and someone built an easy Mac package for PHP. There are a few extra steps, but nothing intense. I don’t like MAMP because I have to keep an extra app open.
