From: kgreene at i2intl dot com Operating system: ALL PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: php closing tag not required
Description: ------------ The closing php tag, ?>, doesn't seem to be required. Is it a bug or a feature? I consider it to be a feature since php has operated this way as long as I have been using it, but a contemporary considers it to be a bug, since it is not documented. I agree with him somewhat, but only on the fact that it does not appear to be documented anywhere whether this is acceptable or not. Reproduce code: --------------- <? echo "Hello World!"; Expected result: ---------------- Hello World!
