To run a contact form through XAMPP, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Create the contact form: Start by creating your contact form using HTML and CSS. Include fields for name, email address, message, and any other relevant information.
2. Save the contact form: Save the contact form file with a .php extension in the htdocs folder of your XAMPP installation directory. For example, save it as contactform.php.
3. Set up the PHP script: Create a PHP script that processes the form data and sends it to your email address. Save this script as send_form.php in the same directory as your contact form file.
4. Configure the PHP script: Open the send_form.php file and configure it with your email address and any other necessary settings, such as SMTP server settings.
5. Start the XAMPP server: Open the XAMPP control panel and start the Apache and MySQL services. This will start a local web server on your machine.
6. Test the contact form: Open your web browser and enter the URL http://localhost/contactform.php to access the contact form. Fill out the form and submit it to test if it is working correctly.
7. Check your email: After submitting the form, check your email inbox to see if you have received the form submission. If you do not receive the email, check the PHP script for any errors.

By following these steps, you can easily run a contact form through XAMPP on your local machine for testing and development purposes.
