Disabling code for local testingI always program my PHP code locally (on my own computer) before uploading my pages to the live server. Most PHP code works fine locally but there are occasions where I don't want my PHP code to run locally. Eg - the PHP function mail() doesn't work on my local computer as I haven't installed a mail server. Most of the time I simply comment this code out with // at the start of the line (or using /* */ around chunks of code) but sometimes for pages that require a lot of testing and back-and-forth, all the chopping and changing can be a real pain. In these cases, I use an If statement to check if the website is local or live and execute the code based on the result:
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] != "localhost")
mail($Recipient, $Subject, $Body, $Headers);
