How can unit testing be utilized to identify discrepancies in array processing in PHP?

Unit testing can be utilized to identify discrepancies in array processing in PHP by creating test cases that cover various scenarios such as empty arrays, arrays with different data types, and arrays with different sizes. By comparing the expected output with the actual output of the array processing functions in these test cases, discrepancies can be easily identified and fixed. 

<?php

// Function to sum all elements in an array
function sumArray($arr) {
    return array_sum($arr);
}

// Unit test for sumArray function
function testSumArray() {
    $arr1 = [1, 2, 3];
    $arr2 = [10, 20, 30];
    
    // Test case 1: Sum of elements in $arr1 should be 6
    assert(sumArray($arr1) == 6, "Test case 1 failed");
    
    // Test case 2: Sum of elements in $arr2 should be 60
    assert(sumArray($arr2) == 60, "Test case 2 failed");
}

// Run unit tests
testSumArray();
echo "All tests passed successfully.";

?>
