How can PHP developers prevent "Illegal string offset" warnings when accessing array values?

PHP developers can prevent "Illegal string offset" warnings when accessing array values by first checking if the key exists in the array using the `isset()` function. This helps ensure that the key is a valid index in the array before trying to access its value. 

$myArray = ['key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2'];

if (isset($myArray['key1'])) {
    echo $myArray['key1']; // This will not trigger an "Illegal string offset" warning
} else {
    echo 'Key does not exist in the array';
}
