Two base_url possible?

There are numerous solutions to the different paths problem between http://localhost and the online version.

The way I do it is to have this define in my index.php and change the paths wherever required.

Code:

// index.php
define('LOCALHOST', file_exists('c:') );

// config.php
if (LOCALHOST) {
   $config['base_url']    = "http://localhost/" ;
}else{
   $config['base_url']    = "http://sitename.com/" ;
}
