If the language forces variable deceleration you simply get an error "variable $key not defined on line x" then there is no searching no wondering, you immediately know you made a typo, and you know exactly what line it is on.
Like that, you mean? error_reporting(E_ALL) does that for you. Of course you then turn it down when your code goes into production, though. -- ---John Holmes... Amazon Wishlist: www.amazon.com/o/registry/3BEXC84AB3A5E/ php|architect: The Magazine for PHP Professionals – www.phparch.com
