And also am having issues with my xampp not working because if i start it, the SQL side will not start and the apache will start please how can i rectify that problem.

Answer 1

You have number of other options, but the server-side answer will depend on the language you'll code on the server. Options include:

NodeJS (JavaScript)
ASP.Net (C#, VB, etc.)
Ruby
JSP
and more.

PHP is a very powerful and easy language though and can run on many OS. It's best to resolve the XAMP issue if you're comfortable with PHP already.

Answer 2

If you want to use another language you can use Javascript (NodeJS), Ruby (Rails or Sinatra), Python (Django or Flask), C# (ASP.NET) and basically any other language.

With respect to PHP, I think you understand that you have problems to start MySQL with XAMPP. What mistake does it give you? Maybe you're just having a problem with the ports (some other application may be using them)

Answer 3

using php
