According to the Ubuntu page for setting up LAMP, yes, you are correct. You could also use tasksel to setup the server:

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

See the guide for more details.

Depending on what you are doing in php you may need additional php modules.

	if i forgot to install a php module.. How Can I add it later? – yes123 Feb 9 '11 at 1:09
	Use the command `sudo aptitude install` followed by the package name. The aptitude package management tool has a text mode graphical interface if you like. You can also use the search and show command from the command line, `man aptitude` will give you more information. – BillThor Feb 9 '11 at 2:02
