Doubt it -- that's just me using PHP's alternative syntax for control structures; in fact, if the rest of your script uses {} control-structure delimiters, you should really use them in the above instead of : and endif, since it's strongly advised not to mix the two forms. I just much prefer the :-endif form and sometimes write it without thinking when it might be more appropriate to use the {} form. Cheers!
