I have a complete PHP application that simply refuses to start on my local Windows machine. I’m running PHP 8.x through XAMPP (Apache + MySQL). After several attempts—switching ports, tweaking php.ini, even reinstalling XAMPP—the root cause is still a mystery. I will send you the full project archive so you can install it in your own environment. The immediate goal is straightforward: get the project to boot without errors and show me exactly what you changed or configured to make that happen. A brief, step-by-step note (paths edited or extensions enabled, for example) will be enough for me to reproduce the fix here. If you succeed and your explanation is clear, I’d like to explore ongoing collaboration on future features, updates, and troubleshooting sessions.
