How are you running your project? Using localhost like `http://localhost/project/` OR using virtual host like `http://project.local/` — Ahmed Numaan, Aug 02 '18 at 07:14

You just have to edit your Apache httpd.conf file. Look for DocumentRoot and point it to your new folder. You have to restart Apache for it to work

Make your folder php in D: then goto xampp folder and rename htdocs to anything you want and run the following command in cmd

mklink /J C:\xampp\htdocs D:\php

Output Put Will Be Like This:

C:\Users>mklink /J C:\xampp\htdocs D:\php
Junction created for C:\xampp\htdocs <<===>> D:\php
