What steps can be taken to troubleshoot and debug PHP scripts that are not producing the expected output?

To troubleshoot and debug PHP scripts that are not producing the expected output, you can start by checking for syntax errors, ensuring that variables are properly initialized and used, and using functions like echo or var_dump to inspect variable values during runtime. Additionally, you can enable error reporting to see any warnings or notices that may help pinpoint the issue. 

<?php
// Enable error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Check for syntax errors
// Ensure variables are properly initialized and used
// Use echo or var_dump to inspect variable values
