WAMP, XAMPP or AMPPS ?

[Sherlock Holmes]

I will start learning PHP(hopefully), so I want to set up PHP environment on my windows 8.1.. I found these for windows, which one do you think will be the best?

XAMPP:-https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
WAMP:-http://www.wampserver.com/en/
AMPPS:-http://www.ampps.com/


Also, i am getting slackware soon(will be dual booting,not VM), so which one is better for linux? LAMP or AMPPS?

I don't know anything about AMPPS so someone else is going to have to fill you in on that. As far as XAMPP, WAMP and LAMP there isn't much of a difference really other than that WAMPP is for use on windows, LAMP is for use on Linux, and XAMPP is cross platform.

Just use the XAMPP stack, that one is okay for local programming, just don't use it for productive.


For Linux just use LAMP.

TBH all those *AMP packs are for quick testing, like if I want to test this shit, I grab one of those are test. Setting normal environments is highly recommended to do shit yourself.
