RE: [PHP] Require variable declaration?

There has been some discussion at zend.com to add this to PHP5/engine 2.0. However, the idea was rejected. -----Original Message----- From: Kjell Hansen [mailto:kjell.hansen@telia.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 2:54 PM To: Rick Emery; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Require variable declaration? That's too bad, I used to do some ASP which is weakly typed too but I still could use "Option Explicit" to require variables to be declared. Then a small typo would produce very hard-to-find errors. Well, I guess I have to live with it. Can I add it to a PHP5-wishlist?
