What common syntax errors can lead to parse errors in PHP scripts, as seen in the forum thread?

Common syntax errors that can lead to parse errors in PHP scripts include missing semicolons at the end of lines, mismatched parentheses or brackets, and incorrect variable names or function calls. To solve this issue, carefully review your code for any syntax errors and correct them before running the script.

// Incorrect code with missing semicolon
$name = "John"
echo "Hello, $name!"; // Missing semicolon at the end of the line

// Corrected code with semicolon added
$name = "John";
echo "Hello, $name!";
