How can empty values in the $_POST array be resolved when using radio buttons in PHP forms?

When using radio buttons in PHP forms, empty values in the $_POST array can occur if none of the radio buttons are selected. To resolve this, you can use a conditional check to set a default value for the radio buttons in case none are selected. This ensures that the $_POST array will always have a value for the radio buttons. 

```php
// Check if the radio button is set in the $_POST array, if not, set a default value
$selected_option = isset($_POST['radio_option']) ? $_POST['radio_option'] : 'default_value';

// Use the $selected_option variable in your code
echo "Selected option: " . $selected_option;
```

In this code snippet, we check if the 'radio_option' key is set in the $_POST array. If it is set, we assign its value to the $selected_option variable. If it is not set (i.e., none of the radio buttons are selected), we assign a default value to the $selected_option variable. This ensures that the $_POST array will always have a value for the radio buttons, preventing empty values.
