• Based on this tutorial, http://www.allaboutlinux.eu/how-to-run-php-on-ubuntu/.
• In Ubuntu in order for the Apache2 server to work with PHP libapache2-mod-php5 need also to be installed.
• libapache2-mod-php5 is something like a glue within the Apache2 server and your PHP files.
• However in Ubuntu 16.04 PHP5 is no longer supported, since it is using PHP7. Read this discussion for more information, http://askubuntu.com/questions/756879/cant-install-php5-on-ubuntu-16-04.
• So to install the "glue" use this command, apt-get install libapache2-mod-php.
• From this web page, http://askubuntu.com/questions/780897/phpmyadmin-not-working-after-upgrading-to-php. There are also these pacakages those need to be installed in order for some PHP based static web site generator to works, sudo apt-get install php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring php-gettext.
• So to install LAMP Stack this is the updated command codes for the Ubuntu 16.04.

sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php mysql-server php php-gettext php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
php -r 'echo "\n\nYour PHP installation is working fine.\n\n\n";
