You don't need to uninstall them. A conflict will only occur if you have two instances of the Apache service running and using the same port.

But if you want to uninstall them anyway, the method depends on which Linux distribution you have.

Having PHP and APACHE in your system will not harm XAMPP installation ..
Just stop APACHE , service httpd stop or any cmd w.r.t your OS .

then start lampp , or u need both to run at a time , change the port of apache to 8080 and run the apache application.
