How can one avoid Notice errors related to array offsets when transitioning to PHP 7.4?

To avoid Notice errors related to array offsets when transitioning to PHP 7.4, you can use the null coalescing operator (??) to provide a default value if the array key does not exist. This ensures that your code does not throw a Notice error when accessing array offsets that may not be set. 

// Before PHP 7.4
$value = isset($array['key']) ? $array['key'] : 'default';

// PHP 7.4 and later
$value = $array['key'] ?? 'default';
