AFAIK Xfinity and most ISP's are going to block port 80 and 443 unless it's commercial plan.There is also going to be something in the TOS about running a server.I had no problem getting to it from another PC in my house but I figured I'd open it to some friends and ran into trouble port forwarding. I'm assuming it's port 80 but didn't get that far because my Xfinity router/gateway won't let me port forward, it has to be done from the app.
Additionally XAMPP is not made for running as public server, there is lot of security issues. For example if you ever look in the access logs on server you are going to find requests for example.com/phpmyadmin/ At the very most they will get a login page and even then that is not common. It will work in your case giving them access to the database with the root account. That is one of many issues, it's built for ease of use in local environment, it's not meant for public server.
