In my opinion, the first is more legible and the usage of multiple variables *of the same name*

I wouldn't consider it so much a bad programming habit when used in the context of functions. For example, I find it handy to use multiple $a's, $b's, etc within my functions because it's an easier and faster method of computing. Like the following:
function myFun($a,$b,$c) //higher num, lower num, exponent
{
$result = round(pow(($a / $b),$c));
return $result;
}
compared to:
function myFun($high,$low,$expo)
{
$result = round(pow(($high / $low),$expo));
return $result;
}
In my opinion, the first is more legible and the usage of multiple variables can be justified when comments are supplied to explain what said variables are. This allows multiple functions to use the same variables and improve readability, thanks to their small scope. It would be a pain naming every dynamic variable something different.

Perhaps this is true but why would you want to encourage bad programming habits?
