How can developers effectively troubleshoot and debug PHP code that involves conditional statements to ensure accurate and expected output?

To effectively troubleshoot and debug PHP code that involves conditional statements, developers can use var_dump() or print_r() functions to inspect variable values, check for syntax errors, and use step-by-step debugging tools like Xdebug. They can also add temporary echo statements within the conditional blocks to track the flow of execution and identify any logical errors. 

// Example PHP code snippet with conditional statements
$number = 10;

if ($number > 5) {
    echo "Number is greater than 5";
} else {
    echo "Number is less than or equal to 5";
}
