What steps can be taken to ensure compatibility with different PHP versions on web hosting servers?

To ensure compatibility with different PHP versions on web hosting servers, you can use version-specific checks in your code to handle any differences in functionality or syntax between versions. This can help prevent errors and ensure that your code runs smoothly regardless of the PHP version being used.

if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.0.0', '<')) {
    // Code for PHP 5.x
} else {
    // Code for PHP 7.x and above
}
