There is a little more involved than that. Iv'e said this many times but, the 'host' file you speak of is totally useless unless you have more than one external IP.
Port 80 is usually blocked by most residential ISP's also.
Apache > PHP > MySQL, you probably have to change your httpd port to something else and connect http://yourip:newport
You can find the httpd.conf in your Apache files.
But again, if you're willing to spend just a few bucks, you can just rent webhosting.
Side note: Linking your MySQL between 2 hosts requires you to add a remote user. Or just edit an existing MySQL user and add % as the host.
(Or add a new user with the hostname of the machine that's trying to connect to the mysql)
