It is generally recommended to explicitly declare the visibility for methods.
                                            

                    
                                            

                            

                            

                                
                                    
                                
                            


                            
Adding explicit visibility (private, protected, or public) is generally
recommend to communicate to other developers how, and from where this method
is intended to be used.

$x is not used, you could remove the assignment.
                                                                                                

                    
                                            

                            

                            

                                
                                    
                                
                            


                            
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.
