Hi,
i have develop a small php application on my local pc.
i would like another person who is in the same workgroup as i do but on different pc to access my php application through browser.
How can i do that? Thanks.

    If you have a static IP, you could just give them your IP address. As long Apache is running, they should be able to see your application. That is of course as long as they're within the same network as you.

    If you wanted anyone outside your network to see your computer, you'd have to either (1) get a static IP from your ISP or (2) use a free service like dyndns.org to create a personal subdomain which points to your computer.

      If you're on the same LAN as the other person, you could also give them the name of your computer (found in the properties of My Computer on the Computer Name tab) instead of an IP address.

        hi,

        on DOS mode, i run ipconfig and get ipaddress is 192.168.0.28
        i ping 192.168.0.28 successfully.

        on the internet free service, i get my ipaddress as 203.125.186.142
        i ping 203.125.186.142 unsuccessful.

        i open my browser, go to http://192.168.0.28 and i get 403 error:
        "You don't have permission to access / on this server."

        Go to this address and i can access my php application
        http://127.0.0.1/ or http://localhost/

        i go to my friend pc on the same LAN, open browser, goto http://192.168.0.28 to access my application but failed.

        Pls advise how i can proceed ahead, thanks.
