How can non-programmers effectively troubleshoot PHP scripts for form validation and data processing?

Issue: Non-programmers can effectively troubleshoot PHP scripts for form validation and data processing by using online resources and tutorials, carefully reviewing error messages, and testing the code step by step.

// Example PHP code snippet for form validation
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $name = $_POST["name"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    
    if (empty($name) || empty($email)) {
        echo "Please fill out all fields.";
    } else {
        // Process the form data
    }
}
