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.

    EXACTLY, thus not polluting everything with variables from all over the damn place. The goal (strict) is the same, even though the web centric context of PHP is different.

    It's going to be hard for them to get out of their years of bad habits. Maybe PHP 5 will solve some of this, but I doubt it.
