Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:

This check looks for variable assignements that are either overwritten by other assignments or where the variable is not used subsequently.
Both the
$myVarassignment in line 1 and the$higherassignment in line 2 are dead. The first because$myVaris never used and the second because$higheris always overwritten for every possible time line.
