Hi, Done a lot of Perl & PHP coding over the years and one thing I _really_ liked about Perl is its 'use strict;' directive. For those of you not familiar with Perl, this made the script die if you don't (among other things) declare your variables before using them.
Once the fingers are flying, stupid typing mistakes often come in and it is more often when a variable name is being typed. It would be interesting to see how many PHP coders out there have spent ages trying to find a bug in their code that was due to them mis-spelling a variable or method name. Anyway, I can't find a reference to anything in the manual that will force PHP to strictly check variable names etc. to see if they are declared before use and if not throw up an error. Can somebody tell me which M to FR ?
