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.
The variable $price does not seem to be defined for all execution paths leading up to this point.
If you define a variable conditionally, it can happen that it is not defined
for all execution paths.
Let’s take a look at an example:
functionmyFunction($a){switch($a){case'foo':$x=1;break;case'bar':$x=2;break;}// $x is potentially undefined here.echo$x;}
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 $x would be undefined.
Available Fixes
Check for existence of the variable explicitly:
functionmyFunction($a){switch($a){case'foo':$x=1;break;case'bar':$x=2;break;}if(isset($x)){// Make sure it's always set.echo$x;}}
Define a default value for the variable:
functionmyFunction($a){$x='';// Set a default which gets overridden for certain paths.switch($a){case'foo':$x=1;break;case'bar':$x=2;break;}echo$x;}
Add a value for the missing path:
functionmyFunction($a){switch($a){case'foo':$x=1;break;case'bar':$x=2;break;// We add support for the missing case.default:$x='';break;}echo$x;}
The return type of return $price; (Iris\Transfer\Catalog\Price) is incompatible with the return type declared by the abstract method Iris\Mapping\Base::assign of type Iris\Transfer\Catalog\ConfigCollection.
If you return a value from a function or method, it should be a sub-type of the
type that is given by the parent type f.e. an interface, or abstract method.
This is more formally defined by the
Lizkov substitution principle,
and guarantees that classes that depend on the parent type can use any instance
of a child type interchangably. This principle also belongs to the
SOLID principles
for object oriented design.
Our function my_function expects a Post object, and outputs the author
of the post. The base class Post returns a simple string and outputting a
simple string will work just fine. However, the child class BlogPost which
is a sub-type of Post instead decided to return an object, and is
therefore violating the SOLID principles. If a BlogPost were passed to
my_function, PHP would not complain, but ultimately fail when executing the
strtoupper call in its body.
