PHP developers often confuse which combination to choose.LAMP consists of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP where as WAMP stands for Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP.LAMP is considered to be safer as compared to WAMP.Moreover using open source software on Windows servers can be limited by what has been “packaged” in the Windows distribution.
Some people may want to test pages on a windows machine, without having to have access to a linux server to do it. AS a developer I work that kind of setup.
The bottom line is that WAMP setups may be a good choice without having to overcome the huge learning curve of the command line that comes with LAMP servers.
