Assignments must be the first block of code on a line

[subrataemfluence]

File: wp-admin/includes/plugin.php
Function: get_plugins
Line number: 247

Original function body:

<?php
function get_plugins( $plugin_folder = '' ) {

   if ( ! $cache_plugins = wp_cache_get( 'plugins', 'plugins' ) ) {
        $cache_plugins = array();
   }
}

Revised function body:

<?php
function get_plugins( $plugin_folder = '' ) {
        
   $cache_plugins = wp_cache_get( 'plugins', 'plugins' );
                
   if ( ! $cache_plugins ) {
      $cache_plugins = array();
   }
}

I have uploaded a proposed patch.

Coding Standards: Remove an assignment in a conditional from get_plugins().
