What are some common pitfalls when installing plugins in PHP?

One common pitfall when installing plugins in PHP is not checking for compatibility with the PHP version or other dependencies. To avoid this issue, always verify that the plugin is compatible with your PHP version and any other required dependencies before installation. 

// Check PHP version compatibility before installing plugin
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.0.0', '<')) {
    die('This plugin requires PHP version 7.0 or higher.');
}

// Check other dependencies before installing plugin
if (!extension_loaded('curl')) {
    die('This plugin requires the cURL extension to be installed.');
}

// Proceed with plugin installation
