How can PHP developers troubleshoot errors related to regular expressions in their code?

Regular expression errors in PHP code can be troubleshooted by using functions like preg_last_error() to check for errors in the last regular expression execution. Additionally, developers can use online regex testers to validate their regular expressions before implementing them in their code. Debugging tools like var_dump() or echo statements can also help in identifying issues with regular expressions. 

$pattern = '/[a-z]+/';
$string = '123abc456';

if (preg_match($pattern, $string)) {
    echo 'Match found!';
} else {
    if (preg_last_error() !== PREG_NO_ERROR) {
        echo 'Regular expression error: ' . preg_last_error();
    } else {
        echo 'No match found.';
    }
}
