Putting a link from html to a localhost

I would like to put a link in my HTML site to access my database. However, my database is localhost/abc.php (located inside xampp/htdocs).

I was wondering how to add the link because it it a localhost document. I could not do it with the <a href="localhost/abc.php"> or the c:///xampp/htdocs/abc.php.

<a href="localhost/abc.php"> is a relative URL.

It points to a directory named localhost in the directory of the current URL.

You need an absolute URL: http://localhost/...

use 

<a href="http://localhost/abc.php">to my db</a>

that will work.

In detail:

"localhost" is the hostname of the url your are pointing to.

It needs to be prefixed with the protocol you are using. In this case http://
