What steps can be taken to troubleshoot PHP code that works on a web server but not in a local development environment like Visual Studio Code?

Issue: The PHP code may be relying on server-specific configurations or dependencies that are not present in the local development environment. To troubleshoot this, ensure that all necessary extensions and settings are enabled in the local PHP configuration. Additionally, check for any hard-coded server paths or environment variables that may be different between the server and local environment. Code snippet:

// Check PHP configuration settings
phpinfo();
```

```php
// Check for server-specific paths or variables
echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
