note 57138 added to language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation

You mentioned above that "the closing tag of a PHP block at the end of a file is optional". So tried the following code and it doesn't work. <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <?php echo "hello world"; </body> </html> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57138 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57138&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57138&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57138&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57138&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57138&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57138&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57138&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57138&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
