Re: [PHP-DEV] Variable Scope

[LingWitt]

I'm talking about the traditional for construct on which the PHP 
version is based. In PHP, that part of the for construct is somewhat 
meaningless. I'm saying that it is not as programmatically powerful as 
it could be. I understand how it currently works (what you have been 
stating), and I am saying that you should consider a change.

I have done nothing but give concrete examples. You have given me 
nothing of importance in return. Prove to me that your zeal is 
justified, but don't relinquish yourself to the defeat of banning me.

That's where you are wrong.

  for($i=0; $i<10; $i++)

There is no declaration there at all.  $i=0 is simply an assignment.
Nothing more, nothing less.  Loops and other constructs do not have
separate symbol tables.
