How can developers ensure that parameters passed from jQuery to PHP scripts are properly encoded and sanitized?

Developers can ensure that parameters passed from jQuery to PHP scripts are properly encoded and sanitized by using functions like `json_encode()` to encode data and `filter_var()` or `htmlspecialchars()` to sanitize input. It is important to validate and sanitize user input to prevent security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting attacks. 

// Example PHP code snippet to properly encode and sanitize parameters passed from jQuery

// Retrieve data from jQuery AJAX request
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

// Sanitize input using filter_var
$sanitized_data = filter_var_array($data, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

// Use the sanitized data in your PHP script
echo json_encode($sanitized_data);
