I am currently developing a mobile PHP project on localhost
(or, to be more precise, a locally hosted website reachable at http://azgoth/
) on my desktop computer and wish to check out how the design looks on my phone's various browsers, however, since the project's actually in my computer rather than the public net, I am unable to do so.
Both my Desktop computer and smartphone connect to the internet via the same router, so I wondered, would it be possible to somehow make http://azgoth/
accessible to my smartphone in a similar way that my desktop computer accesses it, without making it public for everyone to see?
OS: Windows XP SP 3
Service: Apache HTTPD
Router: D-Link DIR-300 FTP Directory
