note 121882 added to language.variables.scope

static variables are implicitly initialised to NULL if no explicit initialisation is made. <?php function foo() { static $v; echo gettype($v); } foo(); ?> will echo NULL without complaining that $v is undefined. In short: "static $v;" is equivalent to "static $v = null;". ---- Server IP: 150.242.41.218 Probable Submitter: 222.153.170.187 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/121882 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121882/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121882/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121882/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121882/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121882/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121882/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121882 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/121882 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
