What are common issues when passing variables to subpages in PHP?

Common issues when passing variables to subpages in PHP include not properly using sessions or cookies, not correctly passing variables through URLs, and not utilizing include or require statements to access variables from other pages.

// Using sessions to pass variables to subpages
session_start();
$_SESSION['variable_name'] = $variable_value;

// Accessing the variable in the subpage
session_start();
$variable_value = $_SESSION['variable_name'];
```

```php
// Passing variables through URLs
// Sending page
$variable_value = "Hello";
<a href="subpage.php?variable_name=<?php echo $variable_value; ?>">Go to Subpage</a>

// Receiving page (subpage.php)
$variable_value = $_GET['variable_name'];
echo $variable_value;
```

```php
// Using include statement to access variables from other pages
// Main page
$variable_value = "Hello";
include 'subpage.php';

// Subpage (subpage.php)
echo $variable_value;
