To convert your Ubuntu v14.04 into a powerhouse for PHP development , you need to install some developer tools from the rich set of available software packages. He (Maurits) made a top 10!

If you're a php developer on ubuntu, there comes the time where you have to install/reinstall your system. He (DaRaFF) did it already a few times and i decided to write down the steps for a typical web developer stack with php.

The XAMPP http://www.apachefriends.org/index.html howto install is supposed to be portable and can be started and stoped easily when required. It also has different security settings and come ready configured with extra tools (includes perl). However it's not good to use it for public web servers only for development and testing.
The LAMP system (aka Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) howto includes the same basic compnonent (Apache, MySQL and PHP) can be more difficult to configure. It can be more secure, easier to update and can be used for public webserve
