How can I access my localhost server from other computers?

I\'m new to PHP, so I don\'t know how to explain it. I\'m running WAMP on my computer and I would like to be able to access my localhost from another computer.

This problem can be fixed as follows.This is for one using a wamp server or a similar local server. first ensure that you have modified the httpd.conf.scroll until you find this line:

#  onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

If you have a smartphone turn on your wifi hotspot to connect with your pc and the one you want to connect with. Open the command prompt in your pc and type ipconfig. Note down the ip4 address of your pc (eg. 192.168.43.47) under wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection.

In the pc you want to connect to set "Obtain IP address automatically". Before you connect ensure your wamp server is online. Open the browser of the client pc and type the IP address noted down earlier.This should work just fine. In some cases you may be required to switch off your antivirus.
