“Notice: Undefined variable”, “Notice: Undefined index”, and “Notice: Undefined offset” using PHP

Question

I\'m running a PHP script and continue to receive errors like:

Notice: Undefined variable: my_variable_name in C:\\wamp\\www\\mypath\\index.php on line 10

Answer 1

In PHP 7.0 it's now possible to use Null coalescing operator:

echo "My index value is: " . ($my_array["my_index"] ?? '');

Equals to:

echo "My index value is: " . (isset($my_array["my_index"]) ? $my_array["my_index"] : '');
