WAMP is an acronym for the combination Microsoft Windows, Apache, MySQL and one or more of Perl, PHP and Python. It is modelled after the more well-known LAMP, referring to the all- open source/ free software approach which uses Linux instead of Windows.Each element of the WAMP acronym provides an essential layer of functionality:
- Microsoft Windows is the operating system;
- Apache is the web server;
- MySQL is the DBMS (database management system [or, database server]);
- PHP is an object-oriented web scripting language;
- Perl is a powerful, general-purpose, object-oriented scripting language;
- Python is yet another powerful, general-purpose, object-oriented scripting language.
