Are there any best practices for configuring XAMPP to avoid the mysql.sock missing error in PHP?

When using XAMPP, the mysql.sock missing error in PHP can occur due to incorrect configuration settings. To solve this issue, you can specify the correct path to the mysql.sock file in the php.ini file.

// Specify the path to the mysql.sock file in php.ini
mysqli.default_socket = /path/to/mysql.sock
