Re: semicolon usage in views
Yeah.. I now remember that. It's been a while since I haven't put the
semicolons, so I guess I just forgot.
Thanks for the refresher!

Re: semicolon usage in views
This has nothing to do with cake and everything to do with php
for e.g. in any php file the following will work:
but this won't
The parser automatically assumes that if you close the tag
you meant to put a semicolon there.

semicolon usage in views
Tried searching for this, but it's a tough search to refine.
Basically, I am simply trying to understand when/if we need semicolons
in a view when using a helper. In fact, I've noticed that I don't
even need the semicolon when just 'echoing' a var in a view, so it
isn't just related to helpers.
It's something I had never much paid attention to (probably b/c it
didn't throw any errors, so simply didn't notice).
So, in simple terms:
...seems to work the exact same as:
(notice the missing semicolon)
And:
input('Widget/searchBox', array('size' => '30')); ?>
...seems to work the exact same as:
input('Widget/searchBox', array('size' => '30')) ?>
So, I assume Cake is doing some error checking for us? However, is
this a feature (ie: should I assume I never have to type the
semicolons again in the views), or should I still add them so that I
am following the rules?
The manual isn't clear on this in it's examples. For instance, I
pulled this code directly out of the helper section of the manual:
-
...
textarea('Note/body', array('cols'=>'60', 'rows'=>'10'));
?>
tagErrorMsg('Note/body',
'Please enter in a body for this note.') ?>
...
-
(notice the semicolon inconsistency)
Thanks for any help in advance!
