localhost means "your own computer". It has no meaning for "us".
If I'd call http://localhost/test_xampp.php/ my browser would request my own webserver, not yours.

http://localhost/test_xampp.php is fine if you want to test it yourself.
actually the address is localhost:80, your webbrowser adds the :80 as default value.
Think of it as "go take a look at what's happening in room #80 in this building".
While this works perfectly as long as you're in the same building it has no (or a different) meaning for someone that is in another building.
For someone in another building you have to give a description like "go to 221b Baker Street and take a look at what's happening in room #80".
