



XAMPP's designers intended it for use only as a
development tool, to allow website designers and
programmers to test their work on their own computers
without any access to the Internet.
To make this as easy as possible, many important
security features are disabled by default.
XAMPP is sometimes used to actually serve web pages
on the World Wide Web.
A special tool is provided to password-protect the most
important parts of the package.
LAMPP is one of the part in XAMPP.

Easy to code: Novices can build something and get it up
and running very quickly with PHP and MySQL.
Easy to deploy: Since PHP is a standard Apache module,
it’s easy to deploy a PHP app. Once you’ve got MySQL
running, simply upload your .php files.
Develop locally: It’s easy to set up LAMP on your laptop,
build your app locally, then deploy on the Web.
Cheap and ubiquitous hosting: Even the cheapest Web
hosts options allow you to run PHP and MySQL.
