RE: Fw: [PHP] debuging and getting mor information about failures

[snip] I wonder why the heck the author didn't just go for the alternative syntax with proper end-tokens and get the added value they deliver. [/snip] At the risk of stepping of of the curb into the holy-war that rages about this the answer Mike is that a lot of PHP coders are what as known as "old school". They programmed in another older language where bracing was a requirement. It may be, for some, force of habit. Rather than the old dog learning a new trick, if the old trick works why fix it? :-)
