What are common pitfalls to avoid when using PHP scripts that may result in endless loops?

Common pitfalls to avoid when using PHP scripts that may result in endless loops include forgetting to include an exit condition within the loop, using incorrect loop increment or decrement logic, and not properly handling recursive function calls. To prevent endless loops, always ensure that there is a clear exit condition set within the loop to stop its execution when necessary. 

// Example of a loop with an exit condition to prevent endless looping
$counter = 0;
while ($counter < 10) {
    // Loop logic here

    $counter++; // Increment the counter
}
