ID: 24100 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: waxmop at sarcastic-horse dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: The "endif;" stuff is old legacy syntax and is definitely not the recommended way of doing things. For my part if can be removed for PHP 5... anyway, definitely not something we will add. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-09 13:21:18] waxmop at sarcastic-horse dot com I really like this alternative syntax: <?php if($a): ?> <h1>A is true.</h1> <?php endif; ?> I thought I was free from using curly brackets "{}", until I realized that I'd still have to define classes and functions in the old style: <?php class Old { var $val; function Old($num=0) { print "<p>Created an object"; if ($num > 0): print "this is mismatched syntax!"; endif; } } ?> It seems a little jarring to have to switch back and forth between the "{}" and the alternative style in a class definition. It would be nice to be able to create an object with the alternative style syntax rather than with curly brackets. It could look a little like this: <?php class Noo: var $val; function Noo(): print "<p>Created a noo object"; endfunction; endclass; ?> Wouldn't that be great? My apologies if this is a redundant submission. I searched for endclass and endfunction, but couldn't find them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24100&edit=1
