External Access to localhost Xampp files

Question

I am using no-ip for generating a domain name .

I have already set-up port-forwarding(I am using D-link) and it is successfully forwarding to localhost.(http://localhost)

But I would want it to forward to a file in htdocs in xampp folder. something like http://localhost/folder/file.php

how to configure this???

Answer 1

Try this. You need this to be your index file in your htdocs folder.

<?php
    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
        $uri = 'https://';
    } else {
        $uri = 'http://';
    }
    $uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
    header('Location: '.$uri.'/folder/file.php');
    exit;
?>
