Hi, just trying to canvass support for the ability to enforce declaration of variables as with perl's use strict: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39091

If you want to emulate perl's "strict" mode just add an error_handler () that will catch E_NOTICE relating to undefined variable, constant, array key usage and convert them to fatal errors. On 10-Oct-06, at 2:52 PM, Alain Williams wrote:

No, it doesn't do the same thing, it won't pick up the following: $fo0 = 'bill'; ... $foo = 'ben'; One is a typeo.

Hi Variables' names are case-sensitive in PHP, $a = $A are two separate variables. How would you want to guess which one is right? -E Alain Williams a écrit :

Both of these represent valid syntax as far as I am concerned and should not generate errors. Ilia Alshanetsky
