Explicit declaration of variables

magilla

I'm a old timer programmer (assembler, fortran, pascal, C) and now
converting from PERL to PHP. In PERL I always use the "use strict" to
force warning messages of undeclared variables. I haven't been able to
find anything similar in PHP, is there such an option? When you type
as bad as I do, having the PHP interpretor/compiler find misspelled
variable names expedites the debugging process.

If you turn your error reporting on:

http://uk.php.net/error_reporting

It will indeed give you helpful messages like:

Notice: Undefined variable: somethin in /blah/woo/waah.php
