Hi friends I cannot understand why we need the close curly braces in opening and closing php tags. pls help
<? } ?>
You do not need to. If you were doing a simple if statement and wanted to separate it, say to add HTML:
<body>
<?php
function checkifarray($arg) {
return (bool) isarray($arg);
}
$array = Array('foo', 'bar', 'baz');
if checkifarray($arg) == false {
print "warning!<br/>";
?>
<strong>The array <?php print $arg; ?> is not an array!</strong>
<?php
} //To end the IF statement above.
?>You do not need to close/reopen, You can simply print the HTML all within PHP, but it allows flexability on working with both scripting languages.
