If you don't like installing separately one by one for PHP, MySQL, and Apache web server, maybe you prefer using LAMP stack such as XAMPP, then go for it use XAMPP. In this article i will help you on how to install and use XAMPP on lubuntu 17.10 artful.
The current XAMPP installation also comes with php 7.1 just like the default php on lubuntu 17.10 official repo, but XAMPP uses MariaDB instead of MySQL, but basically they are the same.
Before we begin, if you previously installed apache and mysql server separately, you need to stop the service, because XAMPP will use the same port number.

You still need the command line to open the GUI tool though :)

Where is XAMPP located?
By default xampp will be installed under /opt/lampp, and for the document root of apache web server is /opt/lampp/htdocs/, this is where you should put your web files such as html, css, php, js, and so on. You can visit http://localhost/ to access the local web server.
