Weaving the web through LAMP

THIS WEEK NetSpeak focusses on an open-source web development suite called LAMP.

To host a web site we need a web server for serving content coded in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). But it can only serve static web content, not dynamic ones. A dynamic web site, where web pages are created on the fly, generally based on the inputs received from the user, is generated by collecting/processing data stored in the server database.
