Create a project outside the localhost directory and utilize your custom alias in PHP using XAMPP

This tutorial guides you through running a PHP project on XAMPP without the need to place the project files directly in the localhost's htdocs folder.

1.Open Xampp Control Panel

2.Right-click the Apache Config button and choose 'httpd-xampp.conf'

3.Scroll to the bottom of the file.

4.Add this code; the alias can change based on your preference, and the path is the specified path.

    Alias /basicv2 "C:/xampp/htdocs/basicv2/basic/web"

            <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/basicv2/basic/web">

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

                AllowOverride All

                Require all granted

                #Options FollowSymLinks

                #Order allow,deny

                #Allow from all

            </Directory>

5.Close XAMPP, reopen it, and then try running the port using localhost/basicv2.

This is how to create a project outside localhost and use your own alias
