Disclaimer
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.
AAMP (Apache, MySql, PHP)
This package provides a developer environment to create your web projects on your Amiga. Just like the well known LAMP package for Linux, it includes the HTTP (web) server "Apache" with compiled in support for the scripting language "PHP" and the database server "MySQL".
AAMP is not only interesting for web developers. Now you can run web applications locally on your Amiga, for example the database administration tool "phpMyAdmin" (http://www.phpmyadmin.net) or the picture database "Coppermine" (http://coppermine-gallery.net) - just to mention a few.
With the included interpreter for "PHP" you can also create your own tools. "PHP" is easy to understand and with it's extensions it is very powerful.
Finally the database server "MySQL" gives you the opportunity to manage your data and share it with other users. External applications (e.g. IODBC) can use it as a database backend.
