I would usually go with the following code in my plain PHP projects.

if(!defined('ENVIRONMENT')){
    define('ENVIRONMENT', 'DEVELOPMENT');
}

$base_url = null;

if (defined('ENVIRONMENT'))
{
    switch (ENVIRONMENT)
    {
        case 'DEVELOPMENT':
            $base_url = 'http://localhost/product/';
            ini_set('display_errors', 1);
            ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
            error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
            break;

        case 'PRODUCTION':
            $base_url = 'Production URL'; /* https://google.com */
            error_reporting(0);
            /* Mechanism to log errors */
            break;

        default:
            exit('The application environment is not set correctly.');
    }
}

            ini_set('display_startup_errors', 0);
            ini_set('log_errors', 1); // Mechanism to log errors
            break;

        default:

    }

I would usually go with the following code in my plain PHP project which are very small. If the project grows large then I will recommend:

if(!defined('ENVIRONMENT')){
    define('ENVIRONMENT', 'DEVELOPMENT');
}

$base_url = null;

if (defined('ENVIRONMENT'))
{
    switch (ENVIRONMENT)
    {
        case 'DEVELOPMENT':
            $base_url = 'http://localhost/product/';
            ini_set('display_errors', 1);
            ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
            error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
            break;

        case 'PRODUCTION':
            $base_url = 'Production URL'; /* https://google.com */
            error_reporting(0);
            /* Mechanism to log errors */
            break;

        default:
            exit('The application environment is not set correctly.');
    }
}

I would usually go with the following code in my plain php project which are very small, if the project grows large then I will recommend.

if(!defined('ENVIRONMENT')){
    define('ENVIRONMENT','DEVELOPMENT');
}

$base_url   =   null;

if (defined('ENVIRONMENT'))
{
    switch (ENVIRONMENT)
    {
        case 'DEVELOPMENT':
            $base_url   =   'http://localhost/product/';
            ini_set('display_errors',1);
            ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
            error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
            break;
    
        case 'PRODUCTION':
            $base_url   =   'Prod url'; /* https://google.com */
            error_reporting(0);
            /* Mechanism to log errors */
            break;

        default:
            exit('The application environment is not set correctly.');
    }
}
