how to access localhost(xampp) from other computer

php apache xampp localhost

If you're trying to access your local XAMPP from another computer on your local network, you'll need to use a local ip address. Likely something like 192.168.x.x. (on a Windows box, you can type 'ipconfig' into a command prompt to get this IP)

If you're trying to access from outside your local network, you'll need to port-forward port 80 through your router to the computer that is running your XAMPP.

  Aha. Then you need to forward 80 port of your computer in the modem.

  Well there are a lot of possibilities out there, you should google it first and when you encounter a problem you should post it somewhere on stackexchange, because stackoverflow is more code related than this kind of issues ! btw if you have a dynamic IP and you want to let your friends access your webserver then you should also take a look at www.no-ip.com and if you're behind a router checkout portforward.com ...
