What steps can be taken to troubleshoot a PHP script returning a 500 error?

A PHP script returning a 500 error typically indicates a server-side issue such as a syntax error, memory limit exceeded, or a misconfiguration. To troubleshoot this, check the error logs for more specific details on the error. Ensure that the PHP script has proper permissions, correct syntax, and is not exceeding any server limits. 

// Example code to troubleshoot a PHP script returning a 500 error
