What is XAMPP server

 

What is XAMPP:

• XAMPP stands for Cross-Platform (X), Apache (A), MariaDB/MySQL (M), PHP (P), and Perl (P). It includes all the necessary components to set up a basic web server, including the Apache web server, MariaDB/MySQL database, PHP programming language, and Perl programming language.

• By installing XAMPP on your computer, you can create and test web applications locally before deploying them to a live server. This is useful for web developers who want to experiment with different configurations, test their code in a safe environment, or develop websites offline without needing an internet connection.

• XAMPP is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and can be downloaded and installed for free from the Apache Friends website.
