How can PHP beginners improve their understanding of basic PHP syntax and concepts to avoid errors like the one in the forum thread?

Issue: The error in the forum thread is likely due to a missing semicolon at the end of a line in the PHP code. To avoid such errors, beginners should carefully review their code for syntax errors and ensure that all statements end with a semicolon. Example fix: 

<?php
// Incorrect code causing the error
$name = "John"
echo "Hello, $name!";

// Corrected code
$name = "John";
echo "Hello, $name!";
?>
