Here are a few related feature requests (with summary): #14285 - Wants strict mode, similar to: 'option explicit' in VBScript 'use strict' in Perl #14405 - Wants 'require strict argument' option, that affects all PHP functions. The name E_TYPE is suggested. #18214 - Wants warning option for assignment inside of an expression. Possible runtime option of assignment_inside_expression = true if in strict mode. How possible would it be to create an optional strict mode in PHP? This might help "strict" programmers feel more comfortable. error_reporting(E_ALL) is a start, using === vs == too. Some functions, like in_array(), have strict options now as well. Regards, Philip Olson
