After installation, you may need to configure XAMPP PHP 7.1.3 to suit your development needs: Ensure Apache and PHP are selected

Released in early 2017, PHP 7.1.3 brought significant performance improvements over PHP 5.6, introducing nullable types, void return types, and class constant visibility. When bundled with (Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl), this specific version became a gold standard for Windows-based local development.

Ensure Apache and PHP are selected. MariaDB is recommended for database functionality.

: Officially, XAMPP bundles MariaDB. You can replace it manually but expect driver compatibility nuances. Easier: run a separate MySQL 8 instance and connect to it via port 3306. Important Security Warning
