When you start XAMPP, it’s like turning on your own private web server. You can create, edit, and test your website just like it’s live on the internet, but it’s only visible to you on your computer.
It combines Apache, MariaDB, PHP, and Perl to create a ready-to-use stack. When you start XAMPP, it launches these components, allowing you to run web applications on your local machine. You can place your web files in the designated directory, and XAMPP’s control panel lets you manage the server easily. This setup enables developers to test and develop websites locally before deploying them to a live server
