What steps can be taken to troubleshoot and resolve warnings related to LDAP syntax errors when modifying directory attributes in PHP scripts?

LDAP syntax errors when modifying directory attributes in PHP scripts can be resolved by ensuring that the attribute values being passed to the LDAP server conform to the syntax defined in the LDAP schema. This can include checking for proper data types, formats, and length restrictions. Additionally, validating input data before attempting to modify directory attributes can help prevent syntax errors from occurring. 

// Example code snippet to modify directory attributes in PHP with proper syntax validation

$ldapServer = "ldap://example.com";
$ldapAdmin = "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com";
$ldapPassword = "admin_password";

$ldapConn = ldap_connect($ldapServer);
ldap_bind($ldapConn, $ldapAdmin, $ldapPassword);

$dn = "cn=John Doe,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com";
$attributes = array(
    "givenName" => "John",
    "sn" => "Doe",
    "mail" => "john.doe@example.com",
    "employeeNumber" => "12345"
);

foreach ($attributes as $key => $value) {
    if (!ldap_check_syntax($key, $value)) {
        echo "Error: Invalid syntax for attribute $key";
        exit;
    }
}

ldap_modify($ldapConn, $dn, $attributes);

ldap_close($ldapConn);

function ldap_check_syntax($attribute, $value) {
    // Implement your syntax validation logic here
    // Return true if syntax is valid, false otherwise
}
