I second LAMP (although you can consider changing Apache for Nginx). For PHP it depends on what you want to do, but Laravel (or Lumen) may help you A LOT! It is super boring by these standard: - You can find setup tutorials everywhere - Almost every question you might think of has been already answered - It will do what it says it will do (Also don't forget to install phpMyAdmin, because who wants to write SQL in a terminal)
