Are there any best practices for handling database connections in PHP scripts to avoid errors like the one mentioned in the thread?

The issue mentioned in the thread is likely related to not properly closing the database connection after its use, leading to potential errors and resource leakage. To avoid this, it is recommended to always close the database connection explicitly after executing queries. 

// Establish a database connection
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Perform database operations here

// Close the database connection
$conn->close();
