I find the XAMPP Server on Windows 2019 + Apache Web Server + MariaDB + FTP incredibly easy to use, which greatly enhances my workflow. The ability to start Apache and MySQL databases with just one click offers me a centralized system to control all servers in one place, thus simplifying local hosting and database management for my PHP projects. This ease of initialization and installation locally ensures a straightforward setup, allowing for efficient front-end and back-end development. The server provides essential support for running files successfully on a local server, which is crucial for scripting languages that can't be operated live without a proper server environment. Moreover, the installation process being straightforward via its official website and installation wizard further adds to its user-friendliness, making it a valuable tool for my projects. I also highly rate and recommend it to my friends and colleagues due to the seamless and productive experience it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
