That's not true: in C the semicolon is an instruction terminator, not a separator, i.e.: the last instruction in a block must be terminated as well. If you need a language to compare PHP with, you might choose Pascal, where the semicolon is actually an instruction separator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33337&edit=1
