Installation of XAMPP

What Do I Need?

To start using PHP, you can:

• Find a web host with PHP and MySQL support
• Install a web server on your own PC, and then install PHP and MySQL

Set Up PHP on Your Own PC
However, if your server does not support PHP, you must:

• install a web server
• install PHP
• install a database, such as MySQL
• for that install XAMPP or WAMP.

The website to download local webserver in your own computer  for that you can visit: https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.

After downloading the XAMPP from the above website you need to unzip the file and extract in any new directory.Click the Next button to continue the installation process. As with most wizard-like

installations, you are asked to select an installation location and some installation

options before moving to the next step. The XAMPP installation is no different; you

should leave the default installation location and the default installation options as

marked and click the Next button to move on past each screen. At this point, the

installation process itself happens, as shown in Figure:
