How can error reporting in PHP help in identifying issues with variable assignments?

Error reporting in PHP can help identify issues with variable assignments by providing detailed error messages when a variable is not assigned correctly. By enabling error reporting, PHP will display warnings or notices if a variable is used before it is assigned a value or if a variable is assigned incorrectly. This can help developers quickly identify and fix issues with variable assignments in their code.

// Enable error reporting to display warnings for variable assignment issues
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Incorrect variable assignment causing an error
$variable; // This will trigger a warning about uninitialized variable

// Correct variable assignment
$variable = "Hello, World!";
echo $variable;
