I use the wonderful Eclipse PDT for PHP development.

I often encounter irritating bugs due to me misspelling variable names.

Is there a way to highlight variables that have not been initialized? As they will almost certainly be due to a spelling mistake.

Thanks for any help.

No. Due to the dynamic, sometimes hackish nature of PHP, it would overall be a pain to have variables that the IDE thinks is undeclared be underlined. Since many functions can declare variables on their own (such as extract), this would be a major hindrance.

zend studio has this feature so i'm not sure if we'll see it in pdt, it will also highlight unreachable code, etc.

JEdit with PHPParser plugin had that, IIRC. It's been long since I tried it, though, I might be wrong.
