How can PHP beginners effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues related to option fields in forms, such as missing or incorrect display of selected options?

Issue: If option fields in forms are not displaying selected options correctly or are missing, it could be due to errors in the PHP code that processes the form data. To troubleshoot and resolve this issue, ensure that the selected option value is being correctly passed in the form submission and that the PHP code properly retrieves and processes this value to display the selected option in the form. 

// Example PHP code snippet to process form data with option fields

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $selected_option = $_POST["option_field"]; // Assuming "option_field" is the name attribute of the option field in the form
    
    // Process the selected option value
    // Use the $selected_option variable to display the selected option in the form
}
