I have recently started using a Mac, moving over from Windows. On Windows I use XAMPP for php and MySQL. What should I use on a mac?

I know Macs have built in php and the apache server but I am not sure if I should follow some of those guides online on how to set that whole thing up or if I should just install XAMPP and use that.

What should I do?

    I don't really understand what you are asking here? Are you asking for our preference? Both will work fine.

The easiest option is to just use XAMPP on Mac OS X. I've been using it for the last few months without any issues.

I have two options: MAMP and MAMP PRO, or the embebed PHP engine inside Netbeans.

I think the first options is the best one for you, 'cause it also have MySLQ Server.

MAMP and XAMPP are both good options. Docker is another one. It installs a small virtual server on your system. It may be a bit more challenging than XAMPP. It's like a virtual linux machine running locally. Another option is Virtualbox with a Debian or Ubuntu guest.
