note 57811 added to language.basic-syntax

this was a difficult scripting problem i personally had when i began programming php: make sure you novice php'ers correctly close any nesting statements you have! sometimes in complicated scripting, the only error message is something like: parse error on line 224 in blah.php and when you look at line 224, its the php closing ?> tag. this can be looked at as improper closing of nested functions, conditional statements, anywhere the curly brackets ( { & }) are used. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57811 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57811&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57811&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57811&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57811&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57811&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57811&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57811&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57811&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
