note 120112 added to language.variables.scope

To be vigilant, unlike Java or C++, variables declared inside blocks such as loops (for, while,...) or if's, will also be recognized and accessible outside of the block, the only valid block is the BLOCK function so: <?php for($j=0; $j<5; $j++) { if($j == 1){ $a = 6; } } echo $a; ?> Would print 6. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 109.190.128.177 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120112 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120112/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120112/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120112/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120112/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120112/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120112/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120112 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120112 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
