What are some common pitfalls for PHP beginners when transferring scripts to a new server?

One common pitfall for PHP beginners when transferring scripts to a new server is not updating the file paths in the code to reflect the new server's directory structure. This can lead to errors such as "file not found" or "include path not found." To solve this issue, make sure to update all file paths in your PHP scripts to match the new server's directory structure. 

// Incorrect file path
include 'old_directory/script.php';

// Corrected file path
include 'new_directory/script.php';
