Bug report

as can be seen in https://3v4l.org/fbc2F#v the variable is read later on with value ''

Code snippet that reproduces the problem

https://phpstan.org/r/13983af8-a7e9-4571-b6d3-32ef73c1f0f7

Expected output

no error on line 9

Value assigned to variable $counter is never read.

I also wonder whether we should have the error on line 11

Call to function is_numeric() with numeric-string will always evaluate to true. because the array can be empty
