How can testing individual data entries help troubleshoot errors in PHP SQL queries?

Testing individual data entries can help troubleshoot errors in PHP SQL queries by isolating the specific data causing the issue. By testing with different data inputs, you can identify any errors or inconsistencies in the SQL query and adjust it accordingly. This method allows for targeted debugging and more efficient problem-solving. 

// Example code snippet for testing individual data entries in PHP SQL queries

// Define the data entry to test
$data_entry = "example_data";

// Construct the SQL query with the data entry
$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name = '$data_entry'";

// Execute the SQL query and handle any errors
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $sql_query);
if (!$result) {
    echo "Error: " . mysqli_error($connection);
} else {
    // Process the query result
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        // Handle the data as needed
    }
}
