[snip] The only reason there to initialize $explodenuke would be for security (register_globals), and there are other cases like this. I generally initialize variables before using them, but there's always going to be a
time when someone forgets. That shouldn't present a security hazard, which is why I think register_globals should *always* be off. [/snip] In the corporate environment with multiple developers we have to initialize every variable (it's a rule). We even scan code once a day for variables that have not been declared. It's part of our documentation. Jay -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
