The expression $row of type array is implicitly converted to a boolean; are you sure this is intended? If so, consider using ! empty($expr) instead to make it clear that you intend to check for an array without elements.
This check marks implicit conversions of arrays to boolean values in a comparison. While in PHP an
empty array is considered to be equal (but not identical) to false, this is not always apparent.
Consider making the comparison explicit by using empty(..) or !empty(...) instead.
$row was never initialized. Although not strictly required by PHP, it is generally a good practice to add $row = array(); before regardless.
Adding an explicit array definition is generally preferable to implicit array
definition as it guarantees a stable state of the code.
Let’s take a look at an example:
foreach($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.
