LAMP

working within the LAMP stack of free open source software allows developers to build websites within a clean architecture of compatible components.

Linux is a Unix-like operating system that runs most servers and many devices. Apache is the most used web server software. MySQL is the most popular open source database system used with PHP. PHP allows you to connect to and interact with the database.

a LAMP stack is designed to work together to enable a server to host dynamic websites and web apps. Dynamic content is processed on the web server and then sent to the local client for display.
