How can server settings impact the functionality of PHP scripts, such as file uploads, and what steps can be taken to troubleshoot such issues?

Server settings such as upload_max_filesize and post_max_size can impact the functionality of PHP scripts, especially when dealing with file uploads. To troubleshoot such issues, you can adjust these settings in the php.ini file or using ini_set() function in your PHP script to increase the maximum upload size.

// Adjusting upload_max_filesize and post_max_size settings
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '20M');
ini_set('post_max_size', '25M');
