XAMPP for windows 64-bit machine

Question

I want to download XAMPP for my windows 64-bit machine. But officially, XAMPP is only available for a 32-bit windows machine.

So, is it fine if I use 32-bit windows XAMPP version for my 64-bit windows machine or is there a way to get the 64-bit windows XAMPP version?

Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

The issues you may run into on windows using 32bit PHP (as all parts of XAMPP will be 32bit) is with any numbers larger than 32bit

For instance the ip2long() functions will return negative numbers instead of positive integers for some larger computed IP addresses.

Yes! I have just downloaded 32-bit XAMPP version for windows-10, because I have not got version for 64-bit windows-10, It works fine for the applications. I am running framework known as Laravel and Codeigniter for developing php web applications. There is no any issue.

No ! As per my experience-- I have not got 64-bit XAMPP for windows-10.

Conclusion - You can download 32-bit XAMPP version for windows-10 and can use it without any issues.

Answer 3

Yes and no.

Yes, XAMPP will run and install on a 32-bit Windows.

No, because if you want to maximize XAMPP's use of RAM, your OS will run out of that same RAM. Hence, it may make sense to host it on a 64-bit Windows, say allocate it with 6gb of RAM for OS and other uses.

Answer 4

it possible to run 32 bit XAMPP on 64bit machine. it is all fine, so far there is no 64 bit XAMPP application. personally I use 32 bit XAMPP server on 64bit windows 10 machine. it works fine for me.

Answer 5

Yes, it's fine.

A 32 bit build will run fine on 64 bit Windows.

Php and Apache don't have official supported 64 bit Windows builds, only MySql out of the three does, hence no 64 bit bundle.
