What are some best practices for updating values in arrays in PHP?

When updating values in arrays in PHP, it is important to first determine the key/index of the value you want to update. Once you have the key/index, you can simply assign a new value to that key/index to update it. It's also a good practice to check if the key/index exists in the array before updating it to avoid errors. 

// Sample array
$colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green'];

// Update the value at index 1 to 'yellow'
if (isset($colors[1])) {
    $colors[1] = 'yellow';
}

// Print the updated array
print_r($colors);
