What are common issues with data transfer between pages in PHP forms?

One common issue with data transfer between pages in PHP forms is losing form data when navigating away from the page. To solve this, you can use sessions to store form data temporarily and retrieve it on the next page. 

// Start or resume a session
session_start();

// Store form data in session variables
$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];

// Redirect to the next page
header('Location: next_page.php');
exit;
```

In the next_page.php file, you can retrieve the form data from the session variables like this:

```php
// Start or resume a session
session_start();

// Retrieve form data from session variables
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
$email = $_SESSION['email'];

// Use the form data as needed
echo "Name: $name<br>";
echo "Email: $email";
