How can the issue of a null value being returned by a statement in PHP be resolved?

When a statement in PHP returns a null value, it can be resolved by checking for the null value and handling it appropriately. This can be done by using conditional statements such as if-else to check if the value is null and then assigning a default value or performing a different action based on the null value.

// Example code snippet to handle null value returned by a statement
$result = someFunctionThatMayReturnNull();

if ($result === null) {
    // Handle the null value here
    $result = "Default Value";
}

// Continue with the rest of the code using the updated $result value
