Description:
------------
If the parameter passed to switch() is an uninitialized variable, a PHP
Notice documenting such is not issued.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting( E_ALL );
var_dump( PHP_VERSION, $mode );
switch( $mode )
{
default:
print '<p>There should be 2 notices of "undefined variable:
mode".<br />' . "\n";
print 'One for the var_dump() and one for the switch().</p>' .
"\n";
break;
}
highlight_file( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] );
?>
Expected result:
----------------
In the above script, two notices of "Undefined variable: mode" should be
issued, one for the var_dump() and one for the switch().
Actual result:
--------------
In reality, only one notice is issued: the one for the var_dump().
(Taking out that call means that no notices are issued.)
I've gotten confirmation that this is present in 5.2.4, 5.2.5, and
5.3.2.
