How can syntax errors be identified and resolved in PHP scripts?

Syntax errors in PHP scripts can be identified by carefully reviewing the error message provided by the PHP interpreter. The error message usually points to the line where the syntax error occurred. Common syntax errors include missing semicolons, parentheses, or curly braces. To resolve syntax errors, carefully check the code for any missing or misplaced syntax elements and make the necessary corrections.

// Example PHP code snippet with a syntax error
$name = "John"
echo "Hello, $name!"; // Missing semicolon at the end of the line

// Corrected PHP code snippet
$name = "John";
echo "Hello, $name!";
