Can someone tell me what this code is for? <?PHP } ?>

[bgbs]

I see this php code used sometimes, and I dont know in what circumstance it is used in, and what it does?

What I'm doing is I am rewriting the site from html tables to css. and I see this code used through out tables right now.

Example below.

 

 

<?PHP

      include('inc.submembers.php');

      ?>

      </td></tr>

              <?PHP

              }

              ?>

they are just too lazy to do this instead

<?php
include('inc.submembers.php');
echo "</td></tr>";
}
?>
