LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
LAMP is an open
source Web development platform that uses Linux as the operating
system, Apache
as the Web server, MySQL
as the relational database management system and PHP as the object-oriented
scripting language. (Sometimes Perl or Python is used instead of
PHP.)
Because the platform has four layers, LAMP is sometimes
referred to as a LAMP stack. Stacks can be built on different operating systems. Developers that
use these tools with a Windows operating system
instead of Linux are said to be using WAMP; with a Macintosh
system, MAMP; and with a Solaris system, SAMP.
