I come from languages where you not only have to initialize a variable but have to declare it as well so initializing comes natural, I feel wrong if I don't do it, even if the interpreter does not care.

Just to be pedantic... The interpreter actually DOES care, but you have to be wise enough to enable E_NOTICE messages for the interpreter to tell you that it does care. You may want to get in the habit of using .htaccess to do that, as you will be more comfy with PHP helping you catch any typos in failing to initialize vars. :-)

I do that here....our development and staging servers have all errors turned on whereas on our production server, pretty much everything is turned off. In a /perfect/ world, you would never see an error in my code, as I _try_ to write clean code, and trap all the errors before they get to the screen (no, not by the use of '@'). Since this is not a perfect world, and I don't always write clean code, it's nice to see those notices/errors pop up on the screen before the code gets live. ;) -- John C.
