No, definitely not.  XAMPP is a very specific product.  It is an Apache 
distribution designed to be easy to setup and and integrate the 
standard LAMP components.  LAMP, on the other hand, stands for 
Linux-Apache-MySQL-(Perl|PHP|Python).  It is a *generic* term for the 
combination of those individual software components.

Craig mentioned the LAMP term because that's a phenomenal way to start 
your search for help.  That is THE term that is used for the setup that 
you are trying to accomplish.  Really, try a google search on 'lamp 
apache' or similar.  Marvel at the thousands upon thousands of hits.

Possibly the best overall site on the topic is ONLamp.com (from 
O'Reilly Networks).  It is a very full site dedicated to the LAMP 
platform.  Lots of articles and tutorials.

You might also want to try a search like 'lamp mysql php tutorial'.  
Any number of those can help you out.
