How can error reporting be optimized to provide more useful information in PHP scripts?

Error reporting in PHP scripts can be optimized by enabling error reporting, setting the error reporting level to include notices and warnings, and utilizing functions like error_log() to log errors to a file for later review. Additionally, custom error handling functions can be created to provide more detailed information about the errors encountered. 

// Enable error reporting and set the error reporting level
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Custom error handling function
function customErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
    error_log("Error: [$errno] $errstr in $errfile on line $errline");
    // Additional error handling logic can be added here
}

// Set the custom error handler
set_error_handler("customErrorHandler");
