Good day,
I've created a webpage on localhost using php. I have a local network with 3 computers at home. I can access the webpage only from one computer (http://localhost/mywebpage/). What changes should I make in phpmyadmin to be able to access the webpage from all computers? Is it possible?
Thank you in advance.

I have tried, but it didn't work.

Did you try the computer's IP address, did you try the computer's network name ? Give more information, as you can see, it can be caused by a lot of things.
It depends on where your root folder is placed i.e. in XAMPP it will be in the httpdocs folder and you probably will have a folder for your app as well. you then need to specify the path to that folder - http://192.168.1.10/MyAppFolderNameHere/mywebpage.php
To check if you can connect to the host over LAN, in cmd type - ping 192.168.0.10 (replace the ip of your host pc with 192.168.0.10...)
I have turned off Windows Firewall and it is working now. Thank you all for help!
