Sure. It's an "environment variable", so it should always be set, even if it
is empty.
It's just a matter that all variables are declared, THEN their values are
assigned.
That's how C works, and that's what PHP is built in, so that's the behavior.
It makes it more standard with other applications, without loosing any real
functionality.
So it's annoying at times, but with just a switch-aroo of the functions you
are using, you can do the same stuff.
