How can PHP developers ensure that all parameters are properly passed and displayed in a URL?

To ensure that all parameters are properly passed and displayed in a URL, PHP developers can use the $_GET superglobal array to retrieve the parameters from the URL and then sanitize and validate them before displaying them. This helps prevent security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks. 

// Retrieve parameters from the URL using $_GET
$param1 = isset($_GET['param1']) ? $_GET['param1'] : '';
$param2 = isset($_GET['param2']) ? $_GET['param2'] : '';

// Sanitize and validate the parameters
$param1 = filter_var($param1, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$param2 = filter_var($param2, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

// Display the sanitized parameters
echo "Param 1: " . $param1 . "<br>";
echo "Param 2: " . $param2 . "<br>";
