Re: 'use strict' is not Perl

in reply to 'use strict' is not Perl

One thing that hasn't been pointed out yet is in PHP, variables are private by default inside functions; you have to explicitly declare them as global for the rest of the program to access them. This means that you're effectively "using (a small part of) strict" inside functions. A small point, but I thought I'd post it for the sake of completeness.
