How can one prevent or handle "Undefined index" errors in PHP code?

When dealing with "Undefined index" errors in PHP, you can prevent them by checking if the index exists in the array before trying to access it. This can be done using the isset() function to verify if the index is set in the array. If the index does not exist, you can handle the error gracefully by setting a default value or displaying a message to the user. 

// Check if the index exists before accessing it
if(isset($_POST['example_index'])) {
    $value = $_POST['example_index'];
    // Use the value of the index
} else {
    // Handle the error gracefully
    echo "Index does not exist in the array.";
}
