best way to create network

I am writing a basic log recording applicaion using PHP and MySQL that will run in a web browser. I intend to run this on a laptop with an apache server installed with the necessary applications, ie PHP and MySQL. I am fine with the setting up and operating of this.

However, it is neccessary to have additional laptop computers run this same browser based application using the same data as the original 'master' laptop. I am thinking that there will be no need to install the server on the additional laptops and I can connect them to the 'master' as the server. My question is how this can be done in the simplest way so that somebody with little knowledge will be able to quickly link up the laptops when required and start operating?

First, enable sharing on the folder containing your data.

Now, on the other computers, open any folder.

Click Tools > map Network Drive.

Click Browse and find the folder across your network where all your data is stored.

Now Right-click the new drive and select Send To > Desktop (shortcut)

Do this on all computers you want to access the shared folder.

Now all the users need to do is double-click the shortcut to access the data across the network.
