What are some common reasons for PHP scripts to abruptly stop execution, and how can they be resolved?

One common reason for PHP scripts to abruptly stop execution is hitting the maximum execution time limit set in the php.ini file. This can be resolved by increasing the max_execution_time value in the php.ini file or by using the set_time_limit() function in the script to extend the execution time.

// Increase max_execution_time in php.ini
// OR
set_time_limit(60); // Extend execution time to 60 seconds
