How can variable conflicts be avoided when including PHP scripts in different files?

Variable conflicts can be avoided by using namespaces to encapsulate variables within PHP scripts. By defining unique namespaces for each script, variables with the same name in different files can coexist without conflicts. This ensures that variables are isolated and do not interfere with each other when including PHP scripts in different files. 

// File 1: script1.php
namespace Script1;
$variable = "Script 1";

// File 2: script2.php
namespace Script2;
$variable = "Script 2";

// File 3: main.php
include 'script1.php';
include 'script2.php';

echo Script1\$variable; // Output: Script 1
echo Script2\$variable; // Output: Script 2
