My advice, certainly for learning purposes, was to get a shared

have to worry about maintaining a server or Apache or anything else.
She can learn php and MySQL and let them do all the admin work.

So you wouldn't recommend server software such as Wampserver?

WAMP or XAMPP for Windows users makes a fine testing bed. The only other
thing to consider is that it's now a server and needs to be locked down.
Whereas, with an online shared host, most of that is taken care of for
you. Unless you write hackable scripts of course. :-)
