How can PHP developers effectively debug issues related to $_GET parameters not being set or passed correctly?

When debugging $_GET parameter issues, PHP developers can start by checking if the parameters are being correctly passed in the URL. They can also use functions like isset() or empty() to verify if the parameters are set and not empty. Additionally, developers can use var_dump($_GET) to print out the entire $_GET array and see the values being passed.

// Check if the $_GET parameter 'id' is set and not empty
if(isset($_GET['id']) && !empty($_GET['id'])) {
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    // Use $id in your code
} else {
    echo "ID parameter not set or empty";
}
