note 124114 added to function.count

Why o why would you decide to throw a warning on count !! You are turning PHP into Java where EVERY SINGLE variable has to be initialized first in order to be used!!! Counting a non existant variable is a way to check for its existence : if(count(var)>0)do x [where var may exist or not] Why would one need to create redundant code to achieve the same: if(isset(var)){ if(count(var)){ do x !!!! this requires a double check... It makes count(undefined_sense) ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 82.199.157.54 (proxied: 187.189.50.251) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.count.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124114 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124114/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124114/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124114/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124114/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124114/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124114/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124114 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124114 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
