How can PHP beginners debug issues related to passing and including variables in the URL for dynamic content?

When passing variables in the URL for dynamic content, beginners can debug by checking if the variables are properly encoded and decoded. They should also ensure that the variables are being correctly passed in the URL and accessed in the PHP code. Using functions like urlencode() and urldecode() can help prevent issues with special characters in the URL. 

// Example of passing and including variables in the URL for dynamic content
// Encode the variable before passing in the URL
$variable = "example data";
$encoded_variable = urlencode($variable);

// Pass the variable in the URL
<a href="example.php?data=<?php echo $encoded_variable; ?>">Link</a>

// Retrieve the variable in the PHP code
$decoded_variable = urldecode($_GET['data']);
echo $decoded_variable;
