What steps can be taken to troubleshoot and resolve issues with uploading avatars in a PHP forum?

Issue: Users are experiencing difficulties uploading avatars in the PHP forum. This could be due to file size restrictions, file type restrictions, or incorrect file paths. To troubleshoot and resolve this issue, check the file upload settings in your PHP configuration, ensure that the file type and size restrictions are correctly configured, and verify that the file paths for storing the uploaded avatars are correct. 

// Check file upload settings in PHP configuration
echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
echo ini_get('post_max_size');

// Ensure file type and size restrictions are correctly configured
$allowed_types = array('image/jpeg', 'image/png');
$max_size = 5 * 1024 * 1024; // 5MB

// Verify file paths for storing uploaded avatars
$upload_dir = 'avatars/';
if (!file_exists($upload_dir)) {
    mkdir($upload_dir, 0777, true);
}
