XAMPP is a completely free and open source comprehensive solution for setting up web servers, containing the Apache web server, the MariaDB database management system (a fork maintained by the MySQL community), and the interpreters for PHP and Perl scripting languages. The program's curious name is a result of the combination of: Cross-Platform + Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl.
Easy installation
One of the great benefits of XAMPP is that if you were to download and install the same software separately, it would take much longer. Thanks to this package, however, you can start setting up your server and save a lot of time in the process. There are no prerequisites. The installation process may take a few minutes depending on your PC, but once completed you can instantly access the program's control panel to make the most of all the features.
