How can PHP developers effectively troubleshoot and debug errors related to object instantiation in their code?

When troubleshooting errors related to object instantiation in PHP, developers should check for syntax errors, ensure that the class being instantiated is properly defined, and verify that the necessary files are included or autoloaded. Debugging tools like var_dump() or print_r() can be used to inspect object instances and identify any issues. 

// Example code snippet demonstrating how to troubleshoot object instantiation errors in PHP

// Check for syntax errors
if (class_exists('ClassName')) {
    // Ensure the class is properly defined
    $object = new ClassName();
    
    // Verify that the necessary files are included or autoloaded
    // include 'ClassName.php';
    
    // Use debugging tools to inspect object instances
    var_dump($object);
} else {
    echo 'Class not found';
}
