What are the potential reasons for receiving a 500 error from the browser when executing PHP scripts?

A 500 error from the browser when executing PHP scripts typically indicates a server-side issue, such as a syntax error in the PHP code or a misconfiguration in the server settings. To solve this issue, you can check the error logs on the server for more specific information about the error and make necessary adjustments to the PHP code or server settings.

// Example PHP code snippet to handle potential 500 errors
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
