What are common issues with accessing GET variables in PHP forms?

Common issues with accessing GET variables in PHP forms include not properly checking if the variable is set before using it, resulting in errors if the variable is not present in the URL. To solve this, always use isset() or empty() functions to check if the variable exists before using it in your code. 

// Check if the GET variable is set before using it
if(isset($_GET['variable_name'])){
    $variable = $_GET['variable_name'];
    // Use the variable in your code
}
