Here's an easy one for you...
What is the point of doing this:
at the very end of a source code? I have seen several php pages that end with that, something like:PHP Code:<?php } ?>
What is the point?Code:<html> <head> <title>Words</title> </head> <body> <? php code stuff here ?> html stuff here <img src= "letsputinapic.jpg"> </body> </html> <?php } ?>

PHP Code:$result = mysql_query("SELECT finger FROM hand WHERE id=3");
echo $result;

THey are closing something like an if,else,switch,for,whatever.Here is an example.
PHP Code:<?php
if($_POST['password'] == 'secret password'){
?>
Super secret Information
<?php
}
?>

So, why the need for the closing and opening ?> <?php then? Shouldn't the statements be closed before the other information is parsed to/from the server? Or is it like a "catch all" for incase they forgot to close it earlier?

On it's own, there is no point (and should raise a syntax error). However, code blocks can span raw output. For example,Originally Posted by BLiZZaRD
"Some text..." will only be output if condition is true.PHP Code:<?php
if (condition) {
?>
Some text...
<?php
}
?>
