Not realy. In most languages, heck , all I can think of, the variable's
scope is simply dependant on WHERE it was declared, not how it was declared.
If in C/C++ you define a variable outside the scope of any function, then it
becomes global and can be accessed by any function.
I'm not arguing one side or the other, just stating :) I personally find the
PHP way a bit annoiying, but its workable, and i'm SURE there was a reason
for it. Just not sure what that reason was :)
