solved it using this steps:

Add folder name "alias" in :

C:\xampp\apache\conf\

after adding alias folder add this in "httpd.conf" at the bottom and save it.

Include "conf/alias/*"

Now create *alias.conf" and save it to alias folder:.

<directory "c:\TEST">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride All

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #     Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /test "C:\TEST"

Apache should have the access right to the folder. Best way is to store any file inside htdocs folder which is relative to you webroot folder.

You will get the document root using the server variable

$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
