In addition to the above  WAMP supports 64 bit PHP on Windows systems while XAMPP only offers 32 bit versions  This actually made me switch to WAMP on my Windows machine since you need 64 bit PHP 7 to get bigint numbers correctly from MySQL

WAMP is an acronym for Windows  OS   Apache  web-server   MySQL  database   PHP  language    XAMPP and WampServer are both free packages of WAMP  with additional applications tools  put together by different people  There are also other WAMPs such as UniformServer  And there are commercial WAMPs such as WampDeveloper  what I use    Their differences are in the format structure of the package  the configurations  and the included management applications   IIS is a web-server application just like Apache is  except it s made by Microsoft and is Windows only  Apache runs on both Windows and Linux    IIS is also more geared towards using ASP NET  vs  PHP  and  SQL Server   vs  MySQL   though it can use PHP and MySQL too

XAMPP is more powerful and resource taking than WAMP  WAMP provides support for MySQL and PHP  XAMPP provides support for MYSQL  PHP and PERL  XAMPP also has SSL feature while WAMP doesnt   If your applications need to deal with native web apps only  Go for WAMP  If you need advanced features as stated above  go for XAMPP   As of priority  you cant run both together with default installation as XAMPP gets a higher priority and it takes up ports  So WAMP cant be run in parallel with XAMPP
