How can PHP beginners effectively troubleshoot and debug syntax errors in their code?

To effectively troubleshoot and debug syntax errors in PHP code, beginners can start by carefully reviewing the error message provided by the PHP interpreter. This message usually points to the line where the error occurred and provides some context on what might be wrong. Additionally, using an integrated development environment (IDE) with syntax highlighting and error checking features can help identify and correct syntax errors more easily. 

<?php

// Example code with a syntax error
$name = "John"
echo "Hello, $name!";

?>
