How can one determine if a SQL syntax error is due to PHP or MySQL settings?

One way to determine if a SQL syntax error is due to PHP or MySQL settings is to check the error message returned by the database when the query fails. If the error message includes specific SQL syntax errors, it is likely an issue with the query itself. However, if the error message is more general or related to connection settings, it may be due to PHP or MySQL configurations. 

// Example code snippet to catch and display SQL syntax errors in PHP
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id =";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

if (!$result) {
    echo "Error: " . mysqli_error($connection);
}
