Hi, I just came across a sniplet of code in a book I'm reading and I'm not sure what point the author is trying to make.
The code is: function my_function ( ) { echo 'My function was called'; } <?php function my_function ( ) { ?> My function was called <?php } ?> What are those single opening and closing curly braces doing in separate <?php ?> tag blocks? What's the point? The author says "Withing a function, curly braces enclose the code that performs the task you require. Between these braces, you can have anything that is legal elsewheere in a PHP script" - PHP and MySQL Web Development, 3rd Edition: Welling & Thomson. If the point is to illustrate what this quote says, does that mean... { ?> My function was called <?php } ...is a syntactically correct code block for my_function? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
