Before a site can be accessed by the browser, PHP script command commands will be processed by a web server before appearing intact in front of us. Web server itself comes with a database to store and process data user data, such as password member, or other data data such as posts and contents User comments etc. run by MYSQL on dynamic sites.    Localhost is usually used by a web developer, in developing a dynamic website that requires a MySQL database. Before all the files that build a site are uploaded into the web server, the web developer will test it first on a local server (localhost). So at the time will be uploaded , All the features built by the programming script are all working fine. Sites that are still tested on localhost exactly the same as the sites that are on the internet generally. Both can also be seen after accessed through a web browser. The difference, the site is still located on localhost can only be seen on the developer's computer browser only.

Apache web server (application from apache (dot) org), application to run PHP web programming scripts.
