XAMPP is the most popular PHP development environment XAMPP is a completely free, easy to install Apache distribution containing MariaDB, PHP, and Perl. The XAMPP open source package has been set up to be incredibly easy to install and to use.

Why use XAMPP?

Not everyone is used to using Linux servers, dealing with complex configurations to connect to the network and how to remotely publish their simple page. On the other hand, if you are a developer, it also doesn’t make sense to constantly connect to a remote server.

For example, if you are on vacation and want to play on the beach, for example 🙂
