What are best practices for handling notices in PHP error reporting to ensure smoother script execution?

When notices are generated in PHP error reporting, they can interrupt the execution of a script and potentially lead to unexpected behavior. To ensure smoother script execution, it is best practice to handle these notices by either fixing the underlying issue causing them or by suppressing them using error control operators like "@".

// Suppress notices using error control operator
@ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
