1.2.580. Init Then Update¶

This is a structure where the variable is initialized in the main sequence of the code, then adapted to another value in a subsequent if structure.

This analysis reports such structures, based on assignation of constant values in the initial statement.

<?php

$a = 1;
if ($b === 2) {
     $a = 2;
}

?>
