How can undefined index errors in PHP scripts, like the ones mentioned in the forum thread, be prevented or resolved effectively?

Undefined index errors in PHP scripts occur when trying to access an array key that does not exist. To prevent these errors, you can use isset() or array_key_exists() functions to check if the index exists before accessing it. If the index does not exist, you can provide a default value or handle the situation accordingly. 

// Check if the index exists before accessing it
if(isset($_POST['username'])){
    $username = $_POST['username'];
} else {
    $username = "default_username";
}
