PHPStorm warning for unused variable, but not if set to null
Answered
I noticed in PHPStorm that if a variable is declared and set to null, there is no warning that it is unused.
For any other value, the warning is there.
I would expect the warning to show for a variable set to null, just as for the string variable.
What is the logic here?

Hi there,
Check that inspection settings: "Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections | PHP | Unused | Unused local variable" -- it will have "Don't report assignment to 'null'" option enabled.
It's done like that by default because of https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-6415
Other than that -- watch https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-39131 ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
