total newb to localhost

Hello smart people...
I am a musician and not a sysAdmin or a RHCE,,,
I can design and put a site to a host, but now I find myself needing to test forms and other dynamic stuff. I tried CentOS but it would not load on my xp box, but XAMPP installed without a hitch...
So I am here, over my head, not knowing how to test my code. Apache and MySQL are started,, typing localhost gets me to the XAMPP page.
Where do I locate my "testSite" on my hdd, and do I use a fake domain name or??? I need a book or someone to point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any replies,, BJJ
