Use whatever you like as long as it works. I use Xampp but there's no rule. It's just server installed on your computer.

In general, errors are things that should be fixed and warnings are things that can be easily ignored.

If the errors are coming from a PHP framework you installed like say, Joomla then you should check this post on XAMPP - Fixing 'Strict Standards' Errors

If it's an issue with your code you should probably check into what those errors are about.

If after that you still want to turn down those errors check out this post on how to turn off 'display_errors' in XAMPP
