How can the syntax in the provided PHP code be improved to ensure that all variables are properly assigned and stored in an array?

The issue with the provided PHP code is that the variables are not being properly assigned and stored in an array. To solve this, we can create an associative array where the keys are the variable names and the values are the variable values. This way, all variables are stored in a structured manner within the array.

// Improving syntax to properly assign and store variables in an array
$var1 = 'value1';
$var2 = 'value2';
$var3 = 'value3';

$data = array(
    'var1' => $var1,
    'var2' => $var2,
    'var3' => $var3
);

print_r($data);
