Connect serve css/js files to XAMPP website.

[codeengie]

Is it possible to serve css or js files to XAMPP using connect? I've used Yeoman in the past and I love the way they use connect to serve .tmp and bower components. Here's the yeoman code for reference:

connect: {
    options: {
        port: 9000,
        open: true,
        livereload: 35729,
        hostname: 'localhost'
    },
    livereload: {
        options: {
            middleware: function(connect) {
                return [
                    connect.static('.tmp'),
                    connect().use('/bower_components', connect.static('./bower_components')),
                    connect.static('app')
                ]
        }
    }
}

This works fine with HTML websites but unfortunately this particular project I'm working on uses PHP. I've dropped the website folder into the htdocs folder of my XAMPP and I can view PHP pages fine in my browser using this URL http://localhost/myphpwebsite. I've integrated Grunt into this website and I know I can easily make a few changes to my Grunt config to place my css and js in other directories but I want to know if this is possible with connect to serve the compiled files I place in my .tmp directory. I've searched on the net and found a connect version that create a php server and I've also looked into grunt-connect-proxy. But have not had any luck. Sorry if this is a noob question I'm still trying to learn about connect and its uses any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my folder structure:

myphpwebsite
    /app
        /scripts
        /styles
        /images
        index.php
    /node_modules
    /bower_components
    /.tmp
    .gitignore
    .jshintrc
    Gruntfile.js
    package.json
    README.md

Thanks.
