What steps are recommended in the forum thread to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the PHP script not deleting entries as expected?

The issue with the PHP script not deleting entries as expected may be due to incorrect syntax or logic errors in the code. To troubleshoot and resolve the issue, it is recommended to check the SQL query used for deleting entries, ensure that the database connection is properly established, and verify that the correct table and column names are being referenced. 

<?php
// Establish database connection
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// SQL query to delete entries
$sql = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Entries deleted successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error deleting entries: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>
