in thread 'use strict' is not Perl

the PHP equivalent of 'use strict' (at least with respect to variable declaration) is setting the 'register_globals' configuration option to false.

Great steaming hairy bollocks! All that does is stop variables that are passed by GET or POST from being declared as globals.
