imho
I agree always declare all kinds of variables before using
in the specific situation you have to consider that you are using two
different variables
rthe $foo inside the function and the $foo outside the function I think
its' correct to declar both, imho you should use different names
if you want to check all variables are properly declared you can turn on
error reporting for all during development and wwitch it off again in
production
