I use this command:
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
It installs the following:
apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-mpm-prefork libaio1 libapache2-mod-php5
libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap libdbd-mysql-perl
libdbi-perl libhtml-template-perl libmysqlclient18 libterm-readkey-perl
mysql-client-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5 mysql-server mysql-server-5.5
mysql-server-core-5.5 php5-cli php5-common php5-json php5-mysql php5-readline
As a summary, that includes apache, mysql and php.

For development, you should use Bitnami.
It's a standalone server package that handles it's own versions of the tools you need. It also helps you keep your system clean from development related modifications.

You can use Xampp for Development LAMP environment. It will provide you manage LAMP with GUI. You can download it here.
Give execution permission to Xampp Installer file by using following command.
sudo chmod +x xampp-linux-x.x.xx-0-installer.run
Run the installer file:
./xampp-linux-x.x.xx-0-installer.run
GUI Installation windows will be open and you will have installed Xampp.
