What are common debugging methods in PHP?

Common debugging methods in PHP include using var_dump() or print_r() to display variable values, using error_reporting() to enable error reporting, using die() or exit() to halt script execution at a specific point, and using a debugger tool like Xdebug for more advanced debugging capabilities. 

// Using var_dump() to display variable values
$variable = "Hello, World!";
var_dump($variable);

// Using error_reporting() to enable error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Using die() to halt script execution
if ($condition) {
    die("Script halted due to condition being true.");
}

// Using Xdebug for advanced debugging capabilities
// Install Xdebug extension and configure IDE for debugging
