How do you test your php code

Xenon
We know that php is a server side scripting language. So we will need a server with the php parser to parse/test our code.
How are you doing that. Do you upload it to a server for testing or did you instal php and the server (apache) on your computer (localhost)

I upload it to my server, and usualy name it filenametest.php or something

I don't run my own server so I test all server-side scripts through the web host. Testing your scripts locally is deemed good practice, but the logistics involved in running your own server beats down the practicality value at the moment. Also, sometimes your local server may run scripts differently than your actual host.

I wouldn't test them locally. Maybe if I wasn't too lazy to install Apache, but the web server could still be configured differently, as chinfo says.

I always test my scripts locally before sending them anywhere. If your server is configured differently, then change the configuration to match the host. You can find all the information you should need to match by calling phpinfo().

I always test them locally.
I have Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed, so i can test them smile.gif

I always upload them and test them, I always expect at least one error the first time. Maybe when I get a good enough computer I'll install PHP in it.

You don't need a good computer to run a simple webserver and PHP/MySQL, provided you are only using locally. You could use a 486 if you wanted.

Well I do need a good connection 'cause I've had other people connect to my pc using CesarFTP but it doesn't work after a while.

The space I use at my school, unfortunately, has disabled php error messages, so every time something goes wrong, all I get is a large blank page. In a way, this is good since I've stopped coding entire projects without running a single test; now I test every little chunk of code as I write it in order to avoid sloshing through a thousand lines, trying to find a missed semicolon or open ".

I am using the WAMP server, one of the best servers to run php.
No need to install Apache, MySQL and PHP separately.

I am testing all my php scripts locally on my WAMP server. Congfiguration
and running our servers in WAMP is very easy, I think. And I am using
PHPDesigner IDE for my PHP development. This is also nice software.
After testing them all successfully on my local server, i upload them
to remote server.

Always locally, used to have Apache + mySQL + PHP all installed and configured seperately. But when I had to format my pc I found XAMPP much easier and less time consuming to configure.

It's just so simple to hit CTRL+S (to save the file) then just hit F5 in the browser and see the outcome of the new edited file without having to upload it.

Usually I only write my code in my local box and upload to the remote box to test using some kind of pscp batch script. My local machine is Windows box and the remote server is Linux so the configuration is different. I prefer this way because I have too many apps installed in my local box and it's getting slower and slower. I will have to upgrade my box soon...

    I am quite new to PHP and this concern came to my mind after playing around a bit with it... When
    PHP is not correctly configured on the web server the source code of a php file we try to access
    through a browser will be shown instead of the result of the code itself. This will normally not
    happen when PHP is working properly, but I was just wondering if it could still be possible to see
    that code if a user wanted to or if something on the server failed. This would for example expose
