# web server – there are various options listed below; beware "apache2" is huge as it is very complicated, but secure; other options consume fewer resources, and may be easier to use, but they will also be more restrictive
# PHP script - from [https://windows.php.net/download/] - this provides a way of controlling what SQL is run depending on other factors
# Database server - MySQL Community edition from [mysql.com] or MariaSQLMariaDB from [https://downloads.mariadb.org/].
# Integrating components like ‘’’phpMyAdmin’’ (there are alternatives) from [https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/] which combines PHP and MySQL
 
There are a number of packages that combine all of these:
*If designed for Microsoft Windows and including Apache2, PHP, and either MariaSQLMariaDB or MySQL, the package is often described as ‘’’WAMP’’’
*If designed for UNIX (including Linux), then XAMP will include Apache2, PHP, and either MariaSQLMariaDB or MySQL
 
Obviously, there are other web servers, some come on their own, others come as a package.
