is there a php editor of developer environment that asks for variables to be declared?

[lkrubner]

PHP does not ask developers to declare their variables. You can simply
create a variable on the fly. That is nice for small scripts and a
headache for large projects. Is there editor out there that enforces a
kind of strict mode? I don't need full variable typing, I just want an
editor that makes me declare all variable - at the very least I'd like
to be able to catch spelling errors.

If you crank up the error reporting level PHP will warn you about using
a variable before it has been defined.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.err...rror-reporting

You probably want E_ALL.

Good to know. So if I set it to E_ALL, PHP will want me to write this
line:

var $myHtmlString = "";

before I start using the variable $myHtmlString?

Probably you may not be wanted... But, anyway you can do such
wonders if you use <http://in2.php.net/set_error_handler>

BTW, I don't think you need such feature. If you use a variable
without having a value in it, it's an error; and you have to correct
it. If you just want to fill it with empty text or null, as somone
said, you set your error level to low.

I'm not sure I understand you. I want to declare my variables before
they are used. I'd like an IDE that enforces it. I might declare a
variable like this:

var $isFlagSet = false;

and then later I might have an if() test like this:

if ($ifFlagSet) {
echo "success";
} else {
echo "sorry, there was an error";
}

I wish PHP had the "use strict" mode that Perl has. I've gotten accustomed to
weeding out typos and goofy errors that take a little longer to debug now. Maybe
it was too much of a crutch. I still catch myself starting with "my $var =... ".
Maybe there's a settings in the php.ini file to output more information to the
web error log, but wasn't seeing anything obvious.

Free up then.
Give up with PHP.
Love Perl - us it. I hate PHP for such things too :)
