Digging for T_CLOSE_TAG and similar stuff have lead me to nothing. Actually I would like to clarify and possibly extend the note on page: http://php.net/manual/en/basic-syntax.instruction-separation Also if you have any positive notes on not using the closing tag (or any negative thereof :), please do let me know. Thanks, Goba (PHP Documentation Editor)
