How can the accuracy of color conversion from RGB to HSL be ensured when using PHP functions or scripts?

When converting colors from RGB to HSL in PHP, it's important to ensure the accuracy of the conversion by using the correct formulas and handling edge cases properly. One common issue is rounding errors that can lead to slight discrepancies in the converted values. To address this, you can round the resulting HSL values to a certain number of decimal places to improve accuracy. 

function rgb2hsl($r, $g, $b) {
    $r /= 255;
    $g /= 255;
    $b /= 255;

    $max = max($r, $g, $b);
    $min = min($r, $g, $b);

    $delta = $max - $min;

    $l = ($max + $min) / 2;

    if ($delta == 0) {
        $h = $s = 0;
    } else {
        if ($l < 0.5) {
            $s = $delta / ($max + $min);
        } else {
            $s = $delta / (2 - $max - $min);
        }

        if ($max == $r) {
            $h = ($g - $b) / $delta + ($g < $b ? 6 : 0);
        } elseif ($max == $g) {
            $h = ($b - $r) / $delta + 2;
        } else {
            $h = ($r - $g) / $delta + 4;
        }

        $h /= 6;
    }

    $h = round($h, 2);
    $s = round($s, 2);
    $l = round($l, 2);

    return array($h, $s, $l);
}

// Example usage
list($h, $s, $l) = rgb2hsl(255, 0, 0);
echo "HSL values: H=$h, S=$s, L=$l";
