Use this php_sapi_name() to check if the script was called on commandline:

if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli' OR !strstr(getenv('HTTP_HOST'), ".com")) {

} else {

if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli' OR strstr(getenv('HTTP_HOST'), ".com")) {
    $config["mode"] = "live";
} else {
    $config["mode"] = "local";
}
