How can one efficiently debug and troubleshoot issues related to nested arrays in PHP?

To efficiently debug and troubleshoot issues related to nested arrays in PHP, you can use functions like var_dump() or print_r() to print out the nested array structure and values for inspection. Additionally, you can use foreach loops to iterate through the nested arrays and check the values at each level. Make sure to pay attention to array keys and indexes to pinpoint where the issue might be occurring. 

// Example nested array
$nestedArray = [
    'key1' => 'value1',
    'key2' => [
        'subkey1' => 'subvalue1',
        'subkey2' => [
            'subsubkey1' => 'subsubvalue1'
        ]
    ]
];

// Debugging nested array using var_dump()
var_dump($nestedArray);

// Troubleshooting nested array using foreach loop
foreach ($nestedArray as $key => $value) {
    if (is_array($value)) {
        foreach ($value as $subkey => $subvalue) {
            echo "Key: $key, Subkey: $subkey, Value: $subvalue\n";
        }
    } else {
        echo "Key: $key, Value: $value\n";
    }
}
