What debugging techniques or tools can be utilized to identify the source of the issue with generating links for individual RSS feed items?

The issue with generating links for individual RSS feed items can be identified by using debugging techniques such as printing out the generated links, checking for any errors in the code that constructs the links, and ensuring that the correct data is being used to generate the links. Tools like Xdebug can also be used to step through the code and pinpoint where the issue is occurring. 

// Example PHP code snippet to generate links for individual RSS feed items

// Assuming $items is an array of RSS feed items with 'title' and 'link' keys

foreach ($items as $item) {
    $title = $item['title'];
    $link = $item['link'];
    
    // Debugging: Print out the generated link
    echo "Generated link for $title: $link\n";
    
    // Construct the link using the item's data
    $generated_link = "https://example.com/rss/item.php?title=" . urlencode($title) . "&link=" . urlencode($link);
    
    // Use the generated link in the RSS feed
    // ...
}
