Description
XAMPP is a free and open-source local server environment developed by Apache Friends. It allows developers to run PHP, MySQL, and Apache on their computers — making it ideal for testing and developing websites locally before hosting them online.
With XAMPP, you can easily build, test, and debug your web applications without needing an internet connection.
It’s perfect for developers working with WordPress, Laravel, or PHP-based projects.
