For compatibility and reusability of your code, PSR1 recommends that a file should introduce either new symbols (like classes, functions, etc.) or have side-effects (like outputting something, or including other files), but not both at the same time. The first symbol is defined on line 17 and the first side effect is on line 13.
The PSR-1: Basic Coding Standard recommends that a file should either introduce
new symbols, that is classes, functions, constants or similar, or have side effects.
Side effects are anything that executes logic, like for example printing output,
changing ini settings or writing to a file.
The idea behind this recommendation is that merely auto-loading a class should not change the state
of an application. It also promotes a cleaner style of programming and makes your code
less prone to errors, because the logic is not spread out all over the place.

PSR-1.
$aDriverOptions was never initialized. Although not strictly required by PHP, it is generally a good practice to add $aDriverOptions = array(); before regardless.
Adding an explicit array definition is generally preferable to implicit array
definition as it guarantees a stable state of the code.
Let’s take a look at an example:
foreach($collectionas$item){$myArray['foo']=$item->getFoo();if($item->hasBar()){$myArray['bar']=$item->getBar();}// do something with $myArray}
As you can see in this example, the array $myArray is initialized the first
time when the foreach loop is entered. You can also see that the value of the
bar key is only written conditionally; thus, its value might result from a
previous iteration.
This might or might not be intended. To make your intention clear, your code
more readible and to avoid accidental bugs, we recommend to add an explicit
initialization $myArray=array() either outside or inside the foreach loop.
