What you have is fine, but I think (I don't do it that way) this means each user will have completely separate code. That might be A Good Thing, or you might be the only user anyway.
An alternative is to use /Library/WebServer/Documents/ Any pages placed there can be called with either 127.0.0.1/yourpage.php or localhost/yourpage.php (127.0.0.1 and localhost do not appear to be completely interchangeable; I've found places where one works and the other doesn't). An advantage of using /Library/WebServer/Documents/ is that you can set up virtual hosts in httpd.conf (/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf). I have several development sites set up - www.xxx.dev, www.yyy.dev etc - paralleling the live sites. I can switch between development sites as quickly as between live sites.
