Which web server is best to use when creating a PHP based web API?

[Jake_J]

XAMPP, Apache are the most commonly used open source PHP servers for hosting applications. Almost all web hosting service providers support PHP., but important is that they must provide phpMyAdmin Access for better PHP and MySQL databases connectivity.

Secondly, they must provide MySQL database preferably unlimited. Other requirements are same as any hosting company and they are good support, great up-time.
