How can one ensure proper error handling when using GET parameters in PHP navigation?

When using GET parameters in PHP navigation, it is important to properly handle errors that may occur, such as missing parameters or invalid values. One way to ensure proper error handling is to check for the existence of the required parameters and validate their values before proceeding with the navigation. 

// Check if the required GET parameter is set
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
    // Validate the GET parameter value
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    if(!is_numeric($id) || $id <= 0) {
        // Handle the error, for example redirect to an error page
        header("Location: error.php");
        exit();
    }

    // Proceed with the navigation
    // ...
} else {
    // Handle the error if the required parameter is missing
    header("Location: error.php");
    exit();
}
