How can PHP developers improve their debugging process when encountering issues with conditional statements like if and else?

When encountering issues with conditional statements like if and else in PHP, developers can improve their debugging process by carefully reviewing the logic of their conditions and ensuring they are correctly structured. They can also use debugging tools like var_dump() or print_r() to inspect the values of variables within the conditions to identify any unexpected behavior.

// Example code snippet with improved debugging for conditional statements
$number = 10;

if ($number > 5) {
    echo "Number is greater than 5.";
} else {
    echo "Number is not greater than 5.";
}
