oni-kun Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi friends I cannot understand why we need the close curly braces in opening and closing php tags. pls help <? } ?> You do not need to. If you were doing a simple if statement and wanted to separate it, say to add HTML: <body> <?php function checkifarray($arg) { return (bool) isarray($arg); } $array = Array('foo', 'bar', 'baz'); if checkifarray($arg) == false { print "warning!<br/>"; ?> <strong>The array <?php print $arg; ?> is not an array!</strong> <?php } //To end the IF statement above. ?> You do not need to close/reopen, You can simply print the HTML all within PHP, but it allows flexability on working with both scripting languages.
