localhost has nothing to do with php, it's just it always maps to the self-referencing ip address. host names are a separate issue. In apache (the standard php web server), this issue can be more complicated because of the heavy use of virtual hosts. For the majority of people, localhost is usually fine; anyone that wasn't using localhost is going to be knowledgeable enough to change it.
