Follow the following steps: (To be more clear you can watch the video of this tutorial as well )

Step 1 : Install Lamp server . Go to terminal and type

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

Type your password when asked . The installation begins.

 Your root folder is /var/www

Now lets create a simple php file

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
and save it as test.php

Go to your browser and check to see if it works or not.

http://localhost/test.php

As i said you can see its asking to save file.

To solve this problem follow the following steps:

Enable php modules

sudo a2enmod php5

It says module php5 already enabled .Disable it and re-enable the php5 module.

Restart your server :

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Let us re-enable php5 module

sudo a2enmod php5
 
and restart the server

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Now go to browser and recheck

http://localhost/test.php

This time as you can see it did not ask to save php files which means php too is correctly installed now.

Finally i prefer to use phpmyadmin. So if you like you too can install it .

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

You will be asked to choose the webserver that should be automatically configured to run phpmyadmin select apache2.
You can select it by pressing space bar and then press enter.


Lets save this text "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
 ... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
                                                                         [ OK ]
"
This is not a real error. You wont have any problem at all. But if you don't want this error message to come then you can create a file

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn

and type

ServerName localhost

Restart the server this time you won't get any error message like you got in the beginning.

That's it. You have installed Apache,MYSQL and PHP successfully.
