What is the recommended method for testing PHP scripts offline?

When testing PHP scripts offline, it is recommended to set up a local development environment using software like XAMPP, WampServer, or MAMP. These tools allow you to run PHP scripts on your computer without needing an internet connection. By setting up a local server, you can test your scripts in a controlled environment before deploying them to a live server.
