Excuse me for top-posting but my email client is stupid.
Memory stacks are definitely stacks and that is a very appropriate use
of the term.

So you're an old guy like me.
and I have seen the term "stack" but never taken the time to look it
up. I assume it is another of many words that are used just to be
different and that other terms (such as library or API) would also work.
Having read some of the later replies, now I get it.
Until now, "stack" in computer context to me meant "memory stack".

Yes, I've looked at that a lot.
There are many Stacks for Web development for different Platforms, my
personal favourite for windows is wpn-xm (https://wpn-xm.org) with a
mass (if u need) extensions.
What is a Stack?
I'm not going to be doing Web development (at least, not for the
foreseeable future), and I'm getting away from Windows into Linux.
You can use PHP as CLI Version too, a GTK (outdated) version is also
available.
I've been using PHP exclusively in the CLI version, as a language much
like C but with a lot of special features like XMLReader. It's also
higher-level than C, which makes many tasks easier.

Well here's one: Is PHP actively maintained, or going into obsolescence?
