If you are using xampp, you might already know that the default location of your projects will be /opt/lampp/htdocs . However you cannot edit contents of this folder without root permissions. However, using the root account for trivial things like editing files is a very bad idea since you can do harmful changes to your system unknowingly.
There is a very detailed and beautiful description of how to avoid this in this blogpost.
The idea is, we need to change the ownership of the folder to something other than the root. No more sudo for triviality.!! Go ahead and read that article.
UPDATE: The -R flag to chown applies command to all the subdirectories( recursively) as well.
