What are common debugging techniques for PHP scripts that are not executing properly?

One common debugging technique for PHP scripts that are not executing properly is to check for syntax errors or typos in the code. Another technique is to use print statements or var_dump to output the values of variables at different points in the script to identify where the issue may be occurring. Additionally, enabling error reporting in PHP can help pinpoint the specific error messages that are causing the script to fail. 

<?php
// Check for syntax errors or typos
// Use print statements or var_dump to output variable values
// Enable error reporting to identify specific error messages

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Your PHP code here
?>
