How can PHP beginners effectively troubleshoot and debug error messages in their PHP applications?

To effectively troubleshoot and debug error messages in PHP applications, beginners can start by enabling error reporting in their PHP code. This can be done by setting the error_reporting level to E_ALL and displaying errors on the screen using the ini_set function. Additionally, beginners can use tools like Xdebug or PHP's built-in functions like error_log() to log errors to a file for easier debugging. 

// Enable error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
