Development Environment Setup

[eluser]adamp1[/eluser]
Using phpED, I have a project file and directory for each thing I work on. The actual files are stored in the root of my local web server running off my PC. Therefore I can just fire up a browser and run the code. These files are also checkouts to svn repositories which means I can work on the files fully testing them but only then update and export my code (I.e not the base files).

Any config files I use while in development have special features to detect if its running on local and thus change the settings to those required.

I have to say I only do it this way since I only work on my own and not a full time web developer. Only do it on the side.
