LAMP Overview

The LAMP Stack
LAMP comes from
L = Linux
A = Apache
M = MySQL
P = Perl/PHP/Python
The LAMP stack is open source
software that enables rapid
development of web-based and
database-based applications

3 INFO 321
original four open-source components: the Linuxoperating
system, the Apache HTTP Server, theMySQL 
relational database management system(RDBMS), and
the PHP programming language.
WAMP, "Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP", an
application server platform.
 MAMP (OS X), SAMP (Solaris), FAMP (FreeBSD),
iAMP (iSeries) and XAMPP (cross-platform).
Installing LAMP
To install the LAMP stack you will need to install
Linux
Apache
MySQL
PHP or Perl or Python
Linux is presumably already installed

Installing LAMP
There’s a sneaky way to install LAMP all at once on
Windows, Linux, and other platforms
WAMP (as in Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
See also here for other options, e.g. MAMP for Mac OS
X, XAMPP for Linux/UNIX, etc.

PHP
“PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting
language that is especially suited for Web development
and can be embedded into HTML”
PHP is a recursive acronym (!) for
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
PHP is available from http://www.php.net
PHP is on version 5.3.5 as of 6 Jan 2011

PHP Platforms
PHP can be used on all major operating systems,
including
Linux
Many Unix variants (e.g. HP-UX, Solaris and
OpenBSD)
Microsoft Windows
Mac OS X (should this be under Unix variants?)
RISC OS

8
PHP Web Servers
PHP has support for most web servers
Apache
Microsoft IIS and PWS
Netscape and iPlanet servers
O’Reilly Website Pro server
Caudium, Xitami, OmniHTTPd, and others

9
PHP database support
PHP can communicate with almost any database
management system
Adabas D, dBase, Empress, FilePro (read-only),
Hyperwave, IBM DB2, Informix, Ingres, InterBase,
FrontBase, mSQL, Direct MS-SQL, MySQL, ODBC,
Oracle (OCI7 and OCI8), Ovrimos, PostgreSQL, SQLite,
Solid, Sybase, Velocis, Unix dbm

What can PHP do?
PHP is mainly focused on server-side scripting, so you
can do anything any other CGI program can do
Collect form data, generate dynamic page content, send
and receive cookies, etc.
But PHP can do much more

Summarized from http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro-whatcando.php

11
What can PHP do?
Command line scripting
You can make a PHP script and run it without any server
or browser
You only need the PHP parser
This type of usage is ideal for scripts regularly executed
using cron (on Unix or Linux) or Task Scheduler (on
Windows)
Scripts can also be used for simple text processing tasks

12
What can PHP do?
Server-side scripting is the most traditional and main
target field for PHP
You need three things to make this work, a PHP parser
(CGI or server module), a web server and a web
browser
You need to run the web server, with a connected PHP
installation
You can access the PHP program output with a web
browser, viewing the PHP page through the server

13 Weeks 7-8 INFO 321


PHP output types
A PHP server often outputs HTML, but it can also
output
Images
PDF files
Flash movies
Any text, such as XHTML or other XML file

14 Weeks 7-8 INFO 321


PHP is server interpreted

15 Weeks 7-8 INFO 321


Installing MySQL

16 Weeks 7-8 INFO 321


Install MySQL
MySQL is an open source, enterprise class, database
management system
It is fully compliant with the SQL standard although,
unlike products like Oracle that have opted for a rich
base of features, MySQL has opted for simplicity
All basic functionality is available – with perhaps a bit
less “slickness” than other products

17 Weeks 7-8 INFO 321


Getting MySQL

MySQL is available from http://www.mysql.com/


The MySQL Community Server is the free version
The MySQL Enterprise Subscription is about
$600/year per server

18 Weeks 7-8 INFO 321


MySQL Installation
When you install MySQL, an All Programs menu
option is added to start the command line client

19 Weeks 7-8 INFO 321


MySQL Basics
mySQL structure
mySQL is running on a host, which may be different
from the client host you’re using to access it
mySQL contains databases
Each database typically includes many tables
 A table has one or more fields (columns)
 Every data entry in a table is a record (row)
What is WAMP?

WAMP = Windows+Apache+MySql+PHP

Note:WAMP5 does not work with Windows 98,Me


WAMP Installation

A single installation file downloaded from


http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
After Installation
Application Service
Apache
wampapache
PHP
MySQL database
wampmysql
WAMP’s Menu

Management Portals
PHPmyadmin
SQLitemanager

Note: A user has to click

WAMP’s Menu

Configuration and
Settings
Loaded Modules
Directory Access Shortcut
WAMP’s Menu

Services
Apache

The icon tray reflects
the status of your
server.
Overall
WAMP is easy to install and it is free to use.
Migration from IIS/PHP/MsSQL to WAMP is
practical.
The cost of migration is mainly to review queries and
change them based on the SQL extension of MySQL.
