How can server-side permissions affect MySQL error reporting and potentially impact PHP script execution?

Server-side permissions can restrict MySQL error reporting, making it harder to debug issues in PHP scripts. To ensure proper error reporting, make sure the MySQL user used in the PHP script has the necessary permissions to view and report errors. This can be done by granting the user the appropriate privileges in MySQL. 

// Example of setting up MySQL connection with proper error reporting permissions
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
