Are there best practices for debugging PHP scripts within PHP itself?

When debugging PHP scripts within PHP itself, it is recommended to use built-in functions like `var_dump()` or `print_r()` to display variable values and debug information. Additionally, using error reporting functions like `error_reporting()` and `ini_set('display_errors', 1)` can help identify and troubleshoot errors in the code. 

<?php
// Enable error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Debugging variable values
$variable = 'Hello World';
var_dump($variable);
print_r($variable);
?>
