Thank you very much for your replies. I read through your posts, and
the ensuing posts, very carefully and my interpretation is as
follows. The PHP code is running on a server. My PHP code is running
on my server. The server is identified by an IP address which is
"http:/localhost/" for the machine on which the call is made.
Therefore if someone types "http:/localhost/" on some other machine,
they will access the server on their machine if they have one
running. To access the server on my machine, they would need to use
my IP address instead. This is looked up through the Domain Name
System ( DNS). If I was using a web host, like GoDaddy, would it
assign a logical name name to the IP address like www.PetersWebSite.com
instead of 123.456.7.8? Since html is client side, I guess if I had
<a href="http://localhost/PHPTest.php">PHP Test</a> in my html code it
would try to access PHPTest.php on the client's computer instead of
mine. Does that seem right?

Thanks,
Peter.
