How can error handling be improved in PHP code to better identify and troubleshoot issues like the one described in the forum thread?

Issue: The error handling in the PHP code is not robust enough to identify and troubleshoot issues effectively. To improve error handling, we can use try-catch blocks to catch exceptions and log detailed error messages to aid in troubleshooting. Code snippet: 

try {
    // Your existing code here
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Log the error message to a file or database for troubleshooting
    $error_message = "Error: " . $e->getMessage() . " in file " . $e->getFile() . " on line " . $e->getLine();
    error_log($error_message, 3, "error.log");
    // Optionally, you can also display a user-friendly error message
    echo "An error occurred. Please try again later.";
}
