How can the PHP script be improved in terms of error handling and reporting, based on the suggestions provided in the forum thread?

Issue: The PHP script needs to improve its error handling and reporting to provide more informative feedback to users in case of errors. Solution: To improve error handling and reporting in the PHP script, we can use try-catch blocks to catch exceptions and display meaningful error messages to users. Additionally, we can use error_reporting() function to set the level of error reporting and display errors on the screen. Finally, we can log errors to a file using error_log() function for further debugging. 

<?php

// Set error reporting level
error_reporting(E_ALL);

try {
    // Your existing PHP code here

} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Display user-friendly error message
    echo "An error occurred: " . $e->getMessage();

    // Log error to a file for debugging
    error_log("Error: " . $e->getMessage(), 3, "error.log");
}
?>
