Is it necessary to declare PHP array before adding values with []?

by

If you don’t declare a new array, and the data that creates / updates the array fails for any reason, then any future code that tries to use the array will E_FATAL because the array doesn’t exist.

For example, foreach() will throw an error if the array was not declared and no values were added to it. However, no errors will occur if the array is simply empty, as would be the case had you declared it.
