Check if Magento Store Codes Are Enabled

As a developer, sometimes it is essential to check if store code URLs are enabled. Store codes are well known for breaking extensions due to the URL format. If you need to check if store code URLs are enabled you could simply use the following.

<?php 
    $storeCodeEnabled = Mage::getStoreConfig('web/url/use_store'); 
    if($storeCodeEnabled): 
        // Do something here endif; 
?>
