How can developers avoid parse errors like the one mentioned in the thread when writing PHP code?

To avoid parse errors in PHP code, developers should pay close attention to syntax errors such as missing semicolons, parentheses, or curly braces. They should also use an integrated development environment (IDE) that can highlight syntax errors in real-time. Additionally, developers can use tools like linters to catch syntax errors before running the code. 

<?php

// Corrected code snippet
$variable = 10;

if ($variable > 5) {
    echo "Variable is greater than 5";
}

?>
