I used xammp before, let me tell you I trick that will save you ton of time and headache in the future. Stop using it. Learn how to setup php, mysql, apache yourself. It's well worth the time. You can use wsl to create linux environment on your system, then learn how to properly configure your php environment. It will save you many hours in the future trying to wrestle with xammp. Plus when you actually deploy your code on a real server, you already know your way around.
