#26269 [NEW]: php closing tag not required
From: kgreene at i2intl dot com
Operating system: ALL
PHP version: 4.3.2
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: php closing tag not required
Description:
------------
The closing php tag, ?>, doesn't seem to be required. Is it a bug or a
feature? I consider it to be a feature since php has operated this way as
long as I have been using it, but a contemporary considers it to be a bug,
since it is not documented. I agree with him somewhat, but only on the
fact that it does not appear to be documented anywhere whether this is
acceptable or not.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
echo "Hello World!";
Expected result:
----------------
Hello World!
Actual result:
--------------
Hello World!
