XAMPP is a open, cross-platform web server, contains primarily the Apache HTTP Server, MySQL database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages.

XAMPP's name is a short form for:

* X (denotes any operating system)

* Apache

* MySQL

* PHP

* Perl

Legitimately, XAMPP's designers only proposed it to make use of this as a development tool for allowing website designers and programmers to check their jobs on their own computers with no access to the Internet. To create this as simple as possible, many essential safety features are disabled by default. In practice, XAMPP is occasionally used to serve web pages on the World Wide Web. A unique tool is provided with password to protect the most important parts of the package. XAMPP also provides support for creating and manipulating databases in MySQL and SQLite among others.
