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.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost

Maybe not wrong, but you can't show it to us this way.

So what do I put it as then?

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".

Do I need to add anything to the file to get it so you can't see it?

the only place I can find localhost:80 is on apache2handler but I don't know how to add the php to it, or am I doing the wrong thing?
