How can debugging techniques be used to identify syntax errors in PHP SQL queries?

To identify syntax errors in PHP SQL queries, debugging techniques such as using error reporting functions like error_reporting() and ini_set('display_errors', 1) can be helpful. Additionally, checking for typos, missing commas, or incorrect quotation marks in the SQL query can also help pinpoint syntax errors. 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Example SQL query with a syntax error
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1"

// Fix the syntax error by adding a semicolon at the end of the query
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1;";
?>
