This check looks for variable assignements that are either overwritten by other assignments or where the variable is not used subsequently.
$myVar = 'Value'; $higher = false; if (rand(1, 6) > 3) { $higher = true; } else { $higher = false; }
Both the $myVar assignment in line 1 and the $higher assignment in line 2 are dead. The first because $myVar is never used and the second because $higher is always overwritten for every possible time line.
