I know I can run a localhost on my machine but.... is there a way to put localhost for everyone on the internet to see? :-D

Yes, you need to have your modem forward your ip address to your computers local ip. This way when someone types your ip address in the their browser they will go to your localhost.

1) sign into your modems admin panel (it should be 192.168.0.1)
2) look for the forwarding page
3) on your computer go to the command line and type ipcongfig/all, if you are on a mac type ipconfig getpacket en1
4) look for a line that say ip address if you on a mac the line will be "yiaddr" the ip should look like 192.168.0.XX
5) go back to your admin panel under forwarding a type in that ip and set the port to 80
6) last type your ip address into the browser and that should be it (go to whatismyip.com if you don't know it)

If I left out a step or it doesn't work let me know

Good luck

"The server at 192.168.0.1 is taking too long to respond."

Ok, go to your computers command line and type "ipcongfig/all", if you are on a mac type "ipconfig getpacket en1". Look for a line that says default gateway or if on a mac it will say siaddr. Type that ip into your browser

it's 192.168.1.1

As stated above, you need to port forward your router to point towards the computer running the server.

It's not always 192.168.1.1, in fact from with in the admin panel you can change it to whatever you want. For me it's 192.168.0.1 and that's why I suggested using the Terminal/DOS.

This has nothing to do with PHP.

Moved to Web Servers & Hosting.

I get a dialog asking for user and pass when I go to 192.168.1.1. I don't know it but I could get it.
I am using linksys... what then?

[no2pencil]

check the documentation that came with your router.

Most likely it's user 'admin' password leave it blank.

[JBrace1990]

For my Linksys it's Admin and pass

[UrbanTwitch]

Nope, it's not admin and (blank) or admin and pass. But I can get the user and pass tomorrow.

Let's say I get in now: what then?

What model number?

You can find all of this information on Google. We'll gladly help you, but waiting for us to hold your hand is only going to delay your project.

In fact, if you had specified the model number, all I would do is Google "Linksys (model number) port forwarding" & most likely it's going to take you to a site like like this one, & I would post a link to it here.

[UrbanTwitch]

Ok thanks I'll do that when I get home. But in no way you better be insinuating that I'm waiting around like a baby for you to hold my hand. I'm simply new to this. Give me a freaking break.

We were all new at one point. All I'm saying is that you posting the model number in here is no different than actually searching for it. That's all I'm going to do, & I'll post back the most reliant result.

It is a fact that you will find the answer your self rather than posting it here, waiting for a few days for someone to respond.

Port Forwarding is an extremely simple task to accomplish. I'm not trying to insult you, I'm actually trying to tell you that I know you can do this

Also if you want your own domain like (dreamincode.net) then all you have to do is simply buy that domain and go into the DNS and do and in the @ record type in your IP address. But we can tell you more about that when you get there.
