What are some best practices for setting up and configuring local PHP parsing for testing purposes?

Setting up and configuring local PHP parsing for testing purposes involves ensuring that your PHP configuration is correctly set up to parse PHP files locally on your machine. This can be achieved by installing a local server environment like XAMPP, MAMP, or WAMP, and configuring it to recognize PHP files. Additionally, you may need to adjust settings in your php.ini file to enable error reporting and debugging features for testing purposes.
