How can beginners avoid parse errors when writing PHP code?

Beginners can avoid parse errors in PHP code by carefully checking for syntax errors such as missing semicolons, parentheses, or curly braces. Using an integrated development environment (IDE) with syntax highlighting can help catch these errors before running the code. Additionally, beginners should pay attention to error messages and use tools like PHP linters to identify and fix syntax issues.

<?php

// Example of code snippet with proper syntax to avoid parse errors
$name = "John";
$age = 30;

echo "Name: " . $name . ", Age: " . $age;

?>
