This is a common problem and detailed advice is given on the XAMPP forum of what you need to reset

If you have skype running, close it, and start apache. That should solve your problem.

if that doesn't some other application is using port80; you will have to free it before you can use it for apache.

Alternatively, you could change the port niumber of apache to start php.
