Sorry if this question has been asked numerous times before, but I have XAMPP installed, how do I create an MSSQL database?

Hello and welcome aldo.
XAMPP comes bundled with phpMyAdmin, with which you can create/delete databases, users and import/export data etc etc.
Get to this by starting Apache and MySQL and the either:
- press the Admin button on the XAMPP Control Panel Application, then on the welcome page, take the Tools / phpMyAdmin link, or
- type
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ into your browser
Not that the initial root password is blank/empty.
You could also work on MySQL via the command prompt. Yuk!

You really mean "MSSQL"?
For PHP you have to enable the extension "php_mssql.dll" in "php.ini".
And about your main question:
IMHO there is an admin tool for the Microsoft SQL server (SQL Server Management Studio).

Yeah, I mean MSSQL.
So I enabled that (php_mssql.dll) in the php.ini in the apache folder, restarted Apache, and it is now in the PHP Info...
So, I have another question, whats the default MSSQL user? Or do I need to use that MSSQL Manager, if so, what would the "host" be? Thanks!

There is neither "default MSSQL user" nor any MSSQL Database, as Xampp comes without any MSSQL Data.
It *all* depends on your local MSSQL installation.
