Your code only exists on your local machine. From the same machine
you can address it as localhost because that is a fixed name that is
known to mean "this machine", ie 127.0.0.1 Your server could ALSO be
accessed from elsewhere on the internet (if wampserver is "online"),
but the user would need to know the ip-address to send requests to.
How that works is basically that a DNS (Distributed Name Server as I
recall, though it's been a while and I'm fuzzy on whether the "D" is
for "Distributed") which takes a symbolic name and returns an
ip-address of the form a.b.c.d (don't ask *me* about ipv6 addressing
this week, or even the inmost details of ipv4 addressing, please).

To set up a (socket or other) connection between the user's
application (in this case the browser) and the server which runs the
PHP code, an ip-address is absolutely required. The ip-address
consists of numbers that completely locate the server node within the
network. Symbolic names are converted to numeric ip-addresses by name
servers (DNS). If the client and server are on the same machine they
can use 127.0.0.1 or "localhost" which is a convention set up to avoid
a firm requirement for the involvement of a DNS.

The whole thing is analogous to making a phone call. If you want to
call a server you have to have its number. The localhost convention
is analogous to dialing 911 in that it says 127.0.0.1 defines the
local server. Aside from that you have to know the phone number you
want, or look it up in the directory (DNS).
