In what ways can JavaScript error messages in the Developer Tool (F12) be utilized to identify and troubleshoot issues related to PHP scripts that are executed via Ajax requests?

When troubleshooting PHP scripts executed via Ajax requests, JavaScript error messages in the Developer Tool can be utilized to pinpoint where the issue lies. By examining the error messages, you can identify any syntax errors, variable mismatches, or other issues that may be causing the problem. Once the issue is identified, you can make the necessary adjustments to your PHP script to resolve the error.
