Mostly, it looks like a dangling piece of rubbish. I never add the closing ?> on a source-only file. And since I never mix code with content... I never see ?> in my files *grin*. The code generated by the template compiler has the appropriate closing tags though... and of course since it's generated, it's a run-time soup of HTML and embedded PHP code :) Cheers, Rob.
Mostly for the very basic sites, I put HTML code at the end of my file, so i don't have to echo it and think about quotes. And a lot of times, i also have HTML in front of my code, or when using sessions, in between like this: <?php session_start(); ?> <html><head><title>Test</title></head><body> <?php // Some PHP code here ?> </body></html> And then, the ?> is a must :) Tijnema -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
