One of the major weaknesses of PHP as a serious programming language is its lack of any way to require variable declaration before usage -- the equivalent of "use strict;" in [[Perl]] or "Option Explicit" in [[Visual Basic]]. [http://www.wellho.net/forum/Writing-PHP/use-strict.html Here] is a brief discussion of this problem, with a workaround which might be useful in some situations (but not if you need to turn off warnings for other reasons, such as needing to suppress messages about duplicate http headers).
