How can the syntax and functionality errors in a PHP script using preg_replace_callback be identified and corrected?

To identify and correct syntax and functionality errors in a PHP script using preg_replace_callback, carefully review the regular expression pattern and the callback function being used. Make sure the callback function is properly defined and handles the matched patterns correctly. Additionally, check for any syntax errors in the overall PHP script. 

// Example of correcting syntax and functionality errors in a PHP script using preg_replace_callback

// Define the input string
$input_string = "Hello, [Name]!";

// Define the regular expression pattern to match [Name]
$pattern = '/\[Name\]/';

// Define the callback function to replace [Name] with "John"
$callback = function($matches) {
    return "John";
};

// Use preg_replace_callback to replace [Name] with "John"
$output_string = preg_replace_callback($pattern, $callback, $input_string);

// Output the corrected string
echo $output_string;
