If you define a variable conditionally, it can happen that it is not defined for all execution paths.
Let’s take a look at an example:
In the above example, the variable $x is defined if you pass “foo” or “bar” as argument for $a. However, since the switch statement has no default case statement, if you pass any other value, the variable $x would be undefined.
Available Fixes
Check for existence of the variable explicitly:
Define a default value for the variable:
Add a value for the missing path:
