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.
