Greetings,
I noticed at Zeev's demo of the Zend Studio that he tended to leave off the
end ?> tag when writing up sample code.
In the phpComponents documentation (http://pcoms.net/submit.php), Hans
advises leaving it off:
"Layout: The first line of pCom source should only contain <?php the full
opening PHP tag. Closing PHP tags must not be used...The full opening PHP
tag <?php should always be used, where as closing tags should never be
used."
On the other hand, Sterling strongly advises that it not be left off
(http://lists.php.net/article.php?group=php.lang&article=403):
"I definitely think that _you_ should do it."
Is there any rationale for leaving it off? Style? Performance? Ensuring
that you're keeping logic separate from presentation templates?
Thanks for any thoughts,
-Dan
