This is a good point. I would even go further and to have all php
files output in charset utf-8 by setting the ini setting:

  default_charset=UTF-8

Sorry if this question sounds noobish:

$foo = array(); // Declare first, good practice.
$foo = array('one', 'two', 'three');

Using above as example, is it good to always declare the array first?

I usually/always declare my arrays first, but sometimes I get a bit
confused... for example:

function give_foo() {
        $the_foo = array(); // Declare first, good practice.
        $the_foo = array('one', 'two', 'three');
        // Do some stuff here...
        return $the_foo;
}
$foo = give_foo(); // Declare $foo also?

So, should I declare $foo as array and then give it the value of the
function? Example:

$foo = array(); // Declare first, good practice.
$foo = give_foo();

That seems kinda redundant. Thoughts?

Sorry if this is a stupid question... I am self-taught, and I am trying
to shake all my bad coding habits.

The above is a declaration.

> $foo = array('one', 'two', 'three');

The above is ALSO a declaration.

The first declaration is redundant and unnecessary and suggests you
don't fully grasp declarations :)

Again a nice declaration above :)

> $foo = give_foo();

Explicit assignment thus making the prior declaration redundant;
however, if you are the kind of person who generally declares all of
your variables at the top of a function, and the assignment to the
return value of give_foo() occurs later in the code, then I would say it
is good practice. But if you do the declaration immediately before in
arbitrary places in the code, then I'd say poor practice since nothing
is gained by the forward declaration.

No need to apologize. Sounds like you're learning to fish.

Cheers,
Rob.

Well there really isn't any "declaration" in php, it is how you
initialize the variable. By just doing a:

  $foo = array('one', 'two', 'three');

It is an explicit intialization and we know that anytime in later
code this thing is going to be an array and returned as an array.
The need to define the var as an empty array first is just extra
unneeded work

What could be wrong when this is transformed:
"<img src="graphics/auringonlasku2.jpg" align="left">"
....to this form:
"<img src=\"graphics/auringonlasku2.jpg\" align=\"left\">"

The line is saved to text file with this function:

function savesite($site, $lang, $contents){

if (check_session()){
$file=fopen('content/' . $site . '_' . $lang . '.txt', "w");

fwrite($file, $contents);

fclose($file);
}

I run it through nl2br() before saving and this only happens on Linux
server, on Windows server it works fine, no \ before ".

Tested with:
On Windows: Apache2, PHP5
Linux: Debian distro, Apache2, PHP4, also tried with PHP5
