If you rent some webspace you usually get PHP & mySQL. Free webspace that comes with ISP accounts usually doesn't have these. Suitable webspace is inexpensive these days, starting from around £15 - £25 a year (depending on vendor) for a small amount of bandwidth and if you don't want your own domain.
You can install a webserver, PHP, mySQL & bulletin board on your home computer, but of course others could only use it when your computers connected to the internet. It's worth doing this anyway, if you intend to rent some PHP enabled webspace as it allows you to try stuff out without spending any money. Try to find a install version that installs a webserver (e.g. Apache), PHP and mySQL all at once, as this will save you having to do some manual configuration.
