How can PHP handle undefined index errors when processing data from multiple select boxes?

When processing data from multiple select boxes in PHP, it is common to encounter undefined index errors when trying to access values that may not exist. To handle this issue, you can use the isset() function to check if the index exists before trying to access it. This helps prevent errors and allows you to safely process the data without interruptions. 

// Example code snippet to handle undefined index errors when processing data from multiple select boxes
if(isset($_POST['select_box_name'])) {
    $selected_values = $_POST['select_box_name'];
    
    // Process the selected values from the select box
    foreach($selected_values as $value) {
        // Do something with each selected value
        echo $value;
    }
} else {
    // Handle case where select box data is not set
    echo "No values selected";
}
