1.2.34. Ambiguous Types With Variables

The same variable is assigned various types, in different methods. This means that one may expect the same named variable to behave differently in different context.

<?php

function foo() {
     $i = 1;
     $user = new User();
}

function goo() {
     $i = 2; // $i is always an integer
     $user = new Propect();  // Sometimes $user is a User, and sometimes it is a Propect
}

?>
