How can I change the type of database in phpmyadmin from mariadb to mysql?

Question

I'm using phpmyadmin with xampp on both of my home and work machines. Some queries didn't work for me when I was working on one computer, but it worked on another. I checked it and the only difference is in the database server type.

My queries don't work on:

Server type: MariaDB

They do work on:

Server type: Mysql

How can I change it from MariaDB to Mysql then?

I don't quite know what you queries you are having trouble with but this should get you started.
