Well there really isn't any "declaration" in php, it is how you
initialize the variable. By just doing a:

$foo = array('one', 'two', 'three');

It is an explicit intialization and we know that anytime in later
code this thing is going to be an array and returned as an array.
The need to define the var as an empty array first is just extra
unneeded work
