What is horrible about that style? IMO doing this:
<?php if ($something) : ?>
[... a bunch of HTML ...]
<?php endif; ?>
looks a lot neater than:
<?php
if ($something) {
?>
[... a bunch of HTML ...]
<?php
}
?>
But whichever style a book chooses to use should not impact on one's decision
as to whether it is a good book or not. I have not seen the book in question
so I've no idea whether I would find it good or bad.
