How can an editor be configured to provide a preview of a PHP page with correct localhost links?

When editing a PHP page, the editor can be configured to provide a preview with correct localhost links by setting up a local development environment such as XAMPP or MAMP. Once the local server is running, the editor can be configured to use the localhost URL as the base URL for previewing PHP pages. This ensures that any links or resources referenced in the PHP page will correctly resolve to the local server. 

<?php
// Assuming the local server is running on localhost:8888
$base_url = 'http://localhost:8888/';

// Example link using the base URL
echo '<a href="' . $base_url . 'example.php">Example Page</a>';
?>
