How can PHP developers troubleshoot and debug issues related to geotargeting information not being displayed in their scripts?

To troubleshoot and debug issues related to geotargeting information not being displayed in PHP scripts, developers can start by checking if the geolocation API is returning the correct data. They can also verify if the necessary permissions are set for accessing the geolocation information. Additionally, ensuring that the code handling the geotargeting information is correctly implemented and there are no errors in the logic can help resolve the issue. 

// Example code snippet to display geotargeting information using IP geolocation API

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$api_url = "https://api.ipgeolocation.io/ipgeo?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&ip=$ip";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $api_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$geolocation_data = json_decode($response, true);

if ($geolocation_data && isset($geolocation_data['country_name'])) {
    echo "Country: " . $geolocation_data['country_name'];
    echo "City: " . $geolocation_data['city'];
    echo "Latitude: " . $geolocation_data['latitude'];
    echo "Longitude: " . $geolocation_data['longitude'];
} else {
    echo "Unable to retrieve geotargeting information.";
}
