How can PHP developers ensure that form data stored in sessions is properly retrieved and displayed after a user goes back to a previous page?

When a user goes back to a previous page, form data stored in sessions may not be displayed because the session variables are not being properly retrieved and displayed on the page. PHP developers can ensure that the form data is properly retrieved and displayed by checking if the session variables exist before displaying them on the page. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Check if the form data is stored in session variables
if(isset($_SESSION['form_data'])) {
    $formData = $_SESSION['form_data'];
    
    // Display the form data on the page
    echo "Name: " . $formData['name'] . "<br>";
    echo "Email: " . $formData['email'] . "<br>";
    // Add more fields as needed
}
