How can not defining variables lead to errors in PHP?

Not defining variables in PHP can lead to errors because PHP is a loosely typed language, meaning it does not require variable declaration. This can result in variables being used before they are assigned a value, leading to undefined variable errors. To solve this issue, always define variables before using them to ensure they have a value. 

// Define variables before using them
$variable = "value";
echo $variable;
