I wasn't aware of Glenn's suggestion, but it sounds like that might work
better for you:

I agree that this would probably work, but this would involve my
manually
inserting code into any page that calls one of the pages that I am
testing. I am looking for a more global approach (like the LIBL
concept)
in which the system checks the TEST folder first for any requested page
and only uses the PRODUCTION folder if that page does not exist in TEST

It sounds like you need to use PHP to "build" the path in your PHP
include statements, something like this (Assuming you can pass "?Test=Y"
at the end of your URL (untested off-the-top-of-my=head code):
<?PHP
if (isset($_GET['Test'])){
include 'morecode.php';
} else (
Include 'test/morecode.php';
}

Subject: [WEB400] simulate library list function in php
Hi all - I am trying to set up a test environment for my web site where
I
can make changes to certain pages, put the changed pages in a folder
called TEST and then run my regular site but whenever one of the changed
pages is referenced (whether via an include statement, or a submit, or
HREF) the page that is used is the one in TEST, not the one in the
production folder. Essentially, I want this to behave the way an AS/400
library list works - somehow put folder TEST in front of the other
folders
but only do this when running in test. I don't care whether "running in
test" means going to a different URL, whether it means connecting with a
different user profile, etc - all i want is for the site to run normally
except when I go to it in "test mode". I tried doing a AliasMatch in my
apache config file and it works for pages that are submitted, but not
for
pages referenced via an include statement in PHP. I'm guessing that
there
might be something that i can do with the PHP.ini file, but I don't know
how to do this, or how to make it only happen for "test" signons
