Haven't worked with PHP in years, but I found a good LAMP install tutorial from Digital Ocean:

Probably, you'll use the same process on 19.04 as on 18.04.

seems like getting PHP dev on Ubuntu is more complicated than a simple MAMP on OS X or Wamp on Windows.

Yeah, it is, but it's also much closer to how PHP is deployed on a production server if you're not using a shared host, so it's good for someone to learn these kinds of command line skills if they have any plans of working in the software industry.
