// Example PHP code snippet demonstrating the difference between client and server programs in Xampp

// Server program (Apache server in Xampp)
// This code would be placed in a PHP file hosted on the server
echo "Hello, this is the server program responding to a client request.";

// Client program (Web browser)
// This code would be in the browser's developer console or a separate PHP file
$response = file_get_contents("http://localhost/example_server.php");
echo $response;
