From the FAQ (at https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_windows.html)

Where should I place my web content?

    The main directory for all WWW documents is \xampp\htdocs. If you put a
    file "test.html" in this directory, you can access it with the URI
    "http://localhost/test.html".

    And "test.php"? Just use "http://localhost/test.php". A simple
    testscript can be:

    <?php echo 'Hello world'; ?>

    A new subdirectory for your web? Just make a new directory (e.g. "new")
    inside the directory "\xampp\htdocs" (best without whitespaces and only
    ASCII), create a test file in this directory and access it with
    "http://localhost/new/test.php".
