Is the combination of PHP5, MySQL and Macbook Pro a LAMP stack? If not, what to do?

I mainly use Visual Studio, I love it, but it makes me feel a little claustrophobic lately. On my MacBook Pro, I've configured PHP5 and MySQL (natively). With an embedded server on a Mac, does the LAMP stack do it? Is Mac OSX considered a Linux environment? I have VMWare Fusion 3, do I have to configure my Linux OS practically in order to implement a LAMP stack? Should I be using CakePHP or Zend? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

In fact, a very common service for configuring MySQL and Apache / PHP support on Mac is called MAMP

. So there you go. I think you are on MAMP.



But the OS really only matters if you plan on using it. I use and enjoy the CodeIgniter PHP framework which is OS agnostic so I really need a stack -AMP

.

This is not LAMP it MAMP, but all your applications developed for this environment will be fully compatible with the LAMP stack.
The difference is more theoretical than practical.

Technically, OS X is a BSD-based OS, not Linux.

The setup you are talking about is usually called MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP)

However, this is close enough for all practical purposes.

Whether or not something is a "LAMP stack" doesn't matter. Your computer can probably run most web applications.

No, OS X is not a Linux environment, but it is great for running a small web server.

Mac OS X is not a Linux environment, but it is definitely a * nix environment, so it may not be a LAMP in the strong sense of the word, but it is as powerful and useful as one.

If the server is Apache, you have MAMP. LAMP is strictly Linux systems.
