How can PHP developers prevent errors related to undefined POST variables?

One way PHP developers can prevent errors related to undefined POST variables is by using the isset() function to check if the variable is set before trying to access it. This helps avoid errors that may occur when accessing POST variables that have not been submitted. 

if(isset($_POST['variable_name'])) {
    // Access the POST variable safely
    $variable = $_POST['variable_name'];
    // Proceed with processing the variable
} else {
    // Handle the case where the POST variable is not set
    echo "POST variable 'variable_name' is not set.";
}
