In what ways can the use of var_dump help troubleshoot issues related to if/else conditions in PHP scripts?

When troubleshooting if/else conditions in PHP scripts, using var_dump can help by displaying the current value of variables to identify any unexpected data types or values that may be causing the issue. By using var_dump within the if/else blocks, you can easily see what values are being evaluated and make necessary adjustments to the conditions. 

$variable = 10;

if ($variable > 5) {
    var_dump($variable);
    echo "Variable is greater than 5";
} else {
    var_dump($variable);
    echo "Variable is less than or equal to 5";
}
