One quick way to test your code (php ) without setting up a copy of the page / functionality, is to simply limit the modifications by IP address. You can find out your IP address from various sites on the 'Net, then plug it into your script like so:

$testing = false;

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "your.ip.address.here") {

$testing = true;

}

Now you can check for the "$testing" variable anywhere you have new code being executed.
