What are common causes of "undefined index" notices in PHP when processing arrays?

Common causes of "undefined index" notices in PHP when processing arrays include trying to access an index that doesn't exist in the array or not checking if the index exists before trying to access it. To solve this issue, always check if the index exists in the array before accessing it using isset() or array_key_exists() functions. 

// Example code snippet to avoid "undefined index" notices
$array = ['key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2'];

// Check if the index exists before accessing it
if (isset($array['key3'])) {
    // Access the index if it exists
    echo $array['key3'];
} else {
    // Handle the case when the index doesn't exist
    echo "Index 'key3' does not exist in the array.";
}
