What are some best practices for troubleshooting intermittent PHP errors like "sometimes works, sometimes half, sometimes not at all"?

Intermittent PHP errors can be challenging to troubleshoot, but some best practices include checking for syntax errors, reviewing server logs for any clues, testing the code on different environments, and ensuring all dependencies are up to date.

// Example of checking for syntax errors
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Example of reviewing server logs
// Check the server error log for any clues on the intermittent errors

// Example of testing on different environments
// Test the code on different servers or local environments to see if the issue persists

// Example of ensuring dependencies are up to date
// Update all PHP libraries and dependencies to the latest versions
