If anything it's a good safeguard against even worse PHP code. I would fully expect to read this that the first if block is completed, and that the second is treated as new code entirely. The only special context that should be retained between these open/close braces are those that hold an active meaning - for example the contents of an if block (anything within }). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-10 10:31:05] nayana at corp-gems dot com Description: ------------ There is a parse error occurring if the "else" condition is placed in a new block. Is this the intended behavior. I was unable to locate documentation that describes this behavior. <?php if (true) { ?> Foo <?php } ?> <?php else { ?> Bar <?php } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65232&edit=1
