Yes: 52No: 25

When writing to a property that has not been declared, PHP will silently create a dynamic property instead. In modern code, this is rarely done intentionally. This RFC proposes to deprecate and later remove the creation of dynamic properties. stdClass and __get/__set are not affected by this change.
