How can PHP syntax errors, such as unexpected semicolons or incorrect argument formats, be identified and resolved when working with database scripts?

PHP syntax errors, such as unexpected semicolons or incorrect argument formats, can be identified and resolved by carefully reviewing the code for any typos or misplaced characters. Using an IDE with syntax highlighting can help pinpoint the errors. Additionally, running the script through a PHP syntax checker can also help identify and fix syntax issues. 

// Example code snippet with a syntax error (unexpected semicolon)
$query = "SELECT * FROM users;";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query); // Error: unexpected semicolon

// Corrected code snippet
$query = "SELECT * FROM users";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
