The hints for php where shown in 7.1.0. To test I disabled the hints for html but this has no effect. Still the next warning is displayed: 'Warning HTML error checking for this file is disabled, you can.... The hints for php are not displayed. Is there something I can test or could it help to clean some e.g. caching?

That warning is there because PHP is embedded language of HTML, so it's HTML warning. Hints for PHP have nothing to do with this HTML warning. And are shown properly in dev build. So it works for me.

If you have a file, where hints are not shown, just attach it here so I can try it and reopen this issue.

But I think that the problem will be elsewhere. If there is some.

I played a little around and found that is somehow working but not as I expected:

function foo()
{
  $myArray = array();
	
  foreach ( $myArray as $value   ) {
     $value = true;
     bar( $myVar );
  }
}

function bar()
{
  return;
}

I would expect to get a hint on bar( $myVar ) as $myVar is not initialized.

If I do:

function foo()
{
    if ( true ){
      bar( $myVar );	}
}

function bar()
{
   return;
}

Now I get a warning that $myVar is not initialized.

In case I do:
function foo()
{
   $value = array();
   while ( true ){
      $value = $myVar;
      bar( $myVar );
   }
}

function bar()
{
   return;
}

I get a hint on  bar( $myVar ); but not on  $value = $myVar;
It seems that the hints do not work properly within an e.g.foreach/while loop.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

First case is a bug.

Second works properly (for me and for you too).

And the third works properly for me too because I get "uninitialized" hint on the line with: $value = $myVar; (not on the line with bar($myVar))

I'm testing in on todays dev build. So reopening for a fix of the firt case. Thanks.
