Is there MariaDB or MySQL in XAMPP?
Solution 1
MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL so you will see some folders with mysql
as name but MariaDB behind it. See https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/ as well...
Solution 2
I've realised the same issue on my Mac. On the web site it says MariaDB is included :
A screenshot from the setup window before installation begins, it says MySQL :
At the slideshow shown during the installation, it said MySQL is included :
This screenshot is from the application :
And lastly, here is what it shows at the terminal :
I still think they should change what is shown on the GUIs :)

I've downloaded and installed XAMPP 5.6.15 for Windows.
When I click on "what's included?" it says it comes with
MariaDB 10.1.9
. But in its root directory there is a foldermysql
, but nomariadb
.Also when I execute:
echo $_SERVER["MYSQL_HOME"];
I get:
\xampp\mysql\bin
So I assume it still comes with MySQL instead of MariaDB?
