Undefined offset means there s an empty array key for example    a   array  Felix   Jon   Java        This will result in an  Undefined offset  because the size of the array    is three  3   thus  0 1 2 without 3 echo  a 3     You can solve the problem using a loop  while     i   0  while   row   mysqli fetch assoc  result            Increase count by 1  thus   i 1      i          groupname  i    base64 decode base64 decode  row  groupname              Set the first position of the array to null or empty      groupname 0

If preg match did not find a match   matches is an empty array  So you should check if preg match found an match before accessing  matches 0   for example   function get match  regex  content        if  preg match  regex  content  matches             return  matches 0         else           return null
