I found a way to update the output for "normal" php files but as I work on a 
WordPress site where final urls do not reflect the local file path I'm finding 
that my "trick" doesn't work:

(defun myLocalhostTest ()
  "saves and opens the file opened in the current buffer into localhost"
  (interactive)
  (global-set-key (kbd "s-r") 'myLocalhostTest)
  (save-excursion
    (save-buffer)
    (setq myLocalRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/")
    (setq myServerRoot "http://localhost:8888/";)
    (setq myFile (substring (buffer-file-name) (length myLocalRoot)))
    (setq myTestCommand (concat "open " myServerRoot myFile)) ;; this "open " 
command only works on macOS... I don't know equivalents on Linux.
    (shell-command myTestCommand)))
