What is the common issue faced when passing empty variables through PHP links?

When passing empty variables through PHP links, the common issue faced is that the empty variables may not be properly handled, leading to unexpected behavior in the receiving script. To solve this issue, you can check if the variable is empty using the `empty()` function in PHP before using it in your script. 

// Check if the variable is empty before using it
$variable = isset($_GET['variable']) ? $_GET['variable'] : '';

if (!empty($variable)) {
    // Process the variable if it's not empty
    echo $variable;
} else {
    // Handle the case when the variable is empty
    echo 'Variable is empty';
}
