What steps can be taken to troubleshoot and resolve issues with data not being transferred from one PHP script to another in a web application?

Issue: Data is not being transferred from one PHP script to another in a web application. This could be due to incorrect variable names, improper data handling, or missing data transfer mechanisms. Fix: To transfer data from one PHP script to another, you can use sessions or cookies. Sessions are a more secure way to transfer data as they store data on the server side, while cookies store data on the client side. Here is an example using sessions: Script 1 (sending data): 

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['data'] = "Hello, World!";
header("Location: script2.php");
exit;
?>
```

Script 2 (receiving data):
```php
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['data'])) {
    $data = $_SESSION['data'];
    echo $data;
} else {
    echo "No data received!";
}
?>
