Same here ... I only initialize variables where's there any point to it ...
like the booleans I use for error checking ... all the others are normally
never initialized

When scripting in a language (such as PHP) that doesn't require you to
determine the variable type before you use it, is it still considered
good technique to initialize it to the type you're going to use it as?
Or is it considered ok to just use it?
e.g.
$strText = ;//initialize
I use precisely what you suggest. If you later find out you'd like to
wrap a few lines inside a loop, this avoids a potential bug when a
variable is not reset to the initial value for each iteration.

It's not necessary. If you want to go to that much trouble, I would switch to
Java for the speed. I stick with PHP for the shorter development time.

Also, for the lazy variable typing. To me, strong typing means pounding the
keyboard extra hard.
