How can one ensure that mod_rewrite is properly compiled in PHP installations like XAMPP?

To ensure that mod_rewrite is properly compiled in PHP installations like XAMPP, you need to enable the mod_rewrite module in the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) and restart the Apache server. Additionally, you can check if mod_rewrite is enabled by creating a PHP file with phpinfo() function and searching for 'mod_rewrite' in the output. 

<?php
// Check if mod_rewrite is enabled
if (function_exists('apache_get_modules') && in_array('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules())) {
    echo "mod_rewrite is enabled";
} else {
    echo "mod_rewrite is not enabled";
}
?>
