What are common issues when transitioning PHP code from a local XAMPP environment to a live server?

One common issue when transitioning PHP code from a local XAMPP environment to a live server is differences in server configurations, such as file paths and database settings. To solve this, make sure to update any hardcoded paths or database connection details to match the live server environment. 

// Example code snippet to update database connection details
$servername = "live_server";
$username = "live_username";
$password = "live_password";
$dbname = "live_database";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
