What is the default value of class member variables in PHP?
Why do I often see:
public static $variable = null;
Wouldn’t it be enough:
public static $variable;
It would, but some people either don’t know that, or prefer to be explicit.
A common convention is to initialize to null when the programmer relies on that null value and do not initialize to null if that member is written to before being read.
