localhost will resolve to whatever machine you are one. If you are
typing localhost on the machine with the webserver/php then you will
reach the webserver/web files. If you go to another machine & type
localhost it will resolve to the machine you are typing this on, and not
your webserver (page not found).

If you want to access your webserver from another machine, you need to
use the IP # of your webserver box. You will need a public IP for
internet use, and if your IP is static you can register a domain name &
setup a dns server, or use one of the many free dns servers available to
resolve your domain name to the ip. Then on the internet if someone
types www.yourdomainname.com then it will resolve to your IP & find the
sevrer.

This is an extremely generic example, but in a nutshell is how it works.
If this blows your mind, you might want to take a step back & do a
little networking 101 reading to help you on your quest.
