What debugging techniques were suggested by other forum members to identify the problem?

Issue: The problem seems to be related to a syntax error in the PHP code. To identify the issue, debugging techniques such as using error reporting, checking for syntax errors, and using var_dump() to inspect variables can be helpful.

<?php
// Enable error reporting to display any syntax errors
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Check for syntax errors in the code
// Make sure all brackets, semicolons, and quotes are properly closed and matched

// Use var_dump() to inspect variables and identify any unexpected values
var_dump($variable_name);
?>
