Small methods make your code easier to understand, in particular if combined with a good name. Besides, if your method is small, finding a good name is usually much easier.
For example, if you find yourself adding comments to a method's body, this is usually a good sign to extract the commented part to a new method, and use the comment as a starting point when coming up with a good name for this new method.

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.

Check for existence of the variable explicitly:
Define a default value for the variable:
Add a value for the missing path:
