What are things that I cannot test out locally with PHP and MySQL?
For example.. Is it possible to test a mail function with php locally (obviously there is no internet connection involved)?
I use MAMP on a Mac OSX

Well I don't have a mail server on my local machine I don't think.
Is there a way I can test a Sign In, or Register function on a local machine? Like creating an account on my website locally?

I have my AppServ installed on my computer which is a program that just configures Apache, MySql, and PHPmyAdmin on your local computer and I use it constantly to test login scripts. I don't have a web host currently so it is much easier and faster. Also, there are free mail servers that you can download. A quick google search could give you some.
