@drewbenn thanks! I'm going to trying it out after the script has downloaded the installer file.

@user275214 does xampp-install.sh specify something other than bash (or ksh or zsh) ?

No, it doesn't. I only created this script because i wanted to learn something other than PHP SQL or C# (these are what they teach in school). I didn't even think about publishing it, not to mention about rewriting it to other shells.
