Are there any common pitfalls or mistakes to avoid when working with arrays in PHP?

One common pitfall when working with arrays in PHP is not checking if an array key exists before trying to access it. This can lead to "Undefined index" notices or unexpected behavior. To avoid this, always use the isset() function to check if a key exists before accessing it.

// Avoiding undefined index error by checking if key exists
$array = ['key' => 'value'];

if (isset($array['key'])) {
    echo $array['key'];
}
