I'm not sure if I misunderstand what you're saying but to me it is one of the greatest things about PHP that everything is local by default (minus a narrow set of well-known and easily enough recognizable things). > The solution would be adding JS-like let / const statements. Which would be a > benefit to other things too. I disagree that this is the solution. I think JS had to add var and later let because of the unfortunate decision to have C-like scoping rules. Making scoping in PHP more complex to be able to repeat this mistake in some form seems ill-advised to me. - Chris -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
