The LAMP stack is the Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP) software stack. It's common software stack for web development which comes with a operating system (Linux), and webserver (Apache), an database (MySQL) and a programming interpreter (PHP). 

- Linux
The operating system. This is the first layer. All other layers run on the top of this layer.

- Apache
The web server. This is the second layer running on the operating system. Web servers  are handling requests made by web browsers and responding the website content. 

- MySQL
A open-source relational database management system. It stores content for websites, handling relations. The database data can be queried by using SQL. 

- PHP
The scripting layer consists of PHP (a web programming language). Web applications run on this layer.
