So lets get start of discussion to how we can install PHP with Apache server and Mysql server in Ubuntu. In this Blog I'm gonna show step by step installation or instruction that how you can install PHP with Apache server and Mysql server in Ubuntu.

First of all Open your Ubuntu operating system and open in terminal. In the terminal We're going to write commands to easily install apache server.

1. Installation of Apache server :

lets start with terminal and for intial step is to install of apache server and command to install server is :

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo apt install apache2

 By default ubuntu does not allow access through the web browser to any files outsides of those located in /var/www/public_html directories.

In local host we can also the file roots location as :

 

To check index file the location is /files/other location/computer/var/www/html

3. Install PHP :

 Now to install PHP in your ubuntu system you have to write the following command as 

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo apt install libapache2-nod-php -y

 After that you just have to restart the apache server so we have  to write the command given below :

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo systemctl restart apache2

 

 

4. Test PHP :

Now to test that we have successfully installed php on your machine or not you have to enter a command in your terminal

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo gnome-text-editor /var/www/html/phpinfo.php

And after pressing enter it will open a gnome text editor  in your machine as given below :

 

Now open your browser and see what this file shows so to view a PHP file on ubuntu machine you have to write in browser a command given a 

localhost/phpinfo.php

And then it shows information about your php 

5. Install Mysql server :

After downloading of Mysql clients files open a new tab in terminal and write the following command as 

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo apt install php8.1-mysql 

Now same as above command write another command in terminal as 

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo apt install php8.1-curl 

After the completion pocess of the above command now check the version of php in your ubuntu machine 

the command is chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ php -v

The above version is the php latest version so you  cross check with your setup 

Now setup is almost complete so you just need a restart to your mysql by following commands as :

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo systemctl status mysql 

The above command gives all the status related to your mysql as task storage and memory etc you can check 

So now you are finally installed php with apache server in your ubuntu machine successfully . The installation is complete but we don't know how to use php or create file in ubuntu so for that we need to perform a demo practical where we gonna create a file and write a program in php script.

 

7. Performing PHP program :

Right click on mouse and open a terminal and then write a command to create a file and command is 

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo touch file1.php

you can name file as of your choice 

File is created now you have to open gnome text editor to write the program so for that the command used is 

chirag@chirag-Virtualbox : $ sudo gnome-text-editor /var/www/html/file1.php

this will open the editor in that created file 

Inside the text editor you need to write the program you want let us create a simple program given below 

After the program is wirtten then you just need to save the program and then to view the php program you need to open your favourite browser and search localhost/file1.php and press enter
