An acronym for a set of free software programs commonly used together to run dynamic Web sites: Linux, the operating system; Apache, the web server; MySQL, the database management system (or database server); Perl, PHP, and/or Python, scripting languages.

LAMP is an open source Web development platform based on Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, a programming language for which Perl or Python is sometimes substituted. The term was coined in Europe, where these programs are commonly used together and have become something of a standard development environment. The name derives from the first letters of each of the programs. Each program is an open source standard in its own right: Linux is the operating system; Apache is the most commonly-used Web server; MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) with add-on tools for Web-based administration; and PHP is a popular object-oriented scripting language that encompasses the best features of many other programming languages to make it efficient for Web development. Developers that use these tools with a version of a Windows operating system instead of Linux are said to be using WAMP.

Short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl or PHP - a set of common open source software programs used together in dynamic web sites.
