What are best practices for migrating a PHP web application to a new server to avoid include errors?

When migrating a PHP web application to a new server, it is important to update all file paths in the code to reflect the new server's directory structure. This will help avoid include errors that occur when PHP files cannot be found or accessed due to incorrect paths. One way to ensure smooth migration is to use relative paths instead of absolute paths in your include statements.

// Before migration
include('/path/to/file.php');

// After migration
include('../path/to/file.php');
