How can error handling be enhanced in the PHP code to provide more informative messages for users encountering issues during login?

The issue with error handling in the PHP code during login is that it may not provide informative messages to users when they encounter issues. To enhance error handling and provide more helpful messages, you can implement custom error messages based on the specific error encountered during the login process. 

// Example of enhanced error handling in PHP login code

// Check if username and password are valid
if($username !== $valid_username || $password !== $valid_password) {
    // Provide specific error messages based on the error encountered
    if($username !== $valid_username) {
        $error_message = "Invalid username. Please try again.";
    } elseif($password !== $valid_password) {
        $error_message = "Invalid password. Please try again.";
    }
    
    // Display the error message to the user
    echo $error_message;
} else {
    // Login successful
    echo "Login successful. Welcome, $username!";
}
