In what ways can the browser console be utilized to identify errors in PHP scripts?

The browser console can be utilized to identify errors in PHP scripts by using JavaScript to make AJAX requests to the PHP script and logging any errors returned in the console. This can help in debugging by providing real-time feedback on any issues encountered in the PHP script. 

<?php
// PHP script that may contain errors
$error = "This is an error message";
echo json_encode(array('error' => $error));
?>
```

```javascript
// JavaScript code to make AJAX request to PHP script
$.ajax({
    url: 'example.php',
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(response) {
        console.log(response);
    },
    error: function(xhr, status, error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
});
