How can PHP developers ensure session variables are properly maintained and accessible across multiple pages?

To ensure session variables are properly maintained and accessible across multiple pages in PHP, developers should start the session on each page where the session variables are needed. This can be done by calling session_start() at the beginning of each PHP file. Additionally, developers should make sure to set and retrieve session variables using the $_SESSION superglobal array. 

<?php
// Start the session
session_start();

// Set a session variable
$_SESSION['username'] = 'john_doe';

// Retrieve the session variable on another page
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['username'];
?>
