Well, "implicit declaration" were maybe not the accurate words, and I don't know how to translate exactly what I "feel" about the code. In a nutshell, your code reminds me the way of writing we used for the Php4 (missing brackets for some if, variables checked with just if ($variable), and so on). Which is not a problem, as Php5 provides a good backwards compatibility. Even obsolete functions can be used as long as you correctly set the warning levels for it.
And it's absolutely not a criticism, just an observation.
Setting the default case at first is just a way of coding which is more or less like saying "that's what I want at first, now let's see what could modify it". It doesn't change anything else indeed: for me it's just the same thing than using the ntp daemon rather than ntpdate through cron
If needed, we should maybe continue this exchange on Php in PM, as I'm not sure this part is that interesting for most of the other contributors? This way, it would also be easier to use the proper words, as no translation would be needed
