Hello and Greetings To All,
"The closing PHP tag isn't required and actually stops people breaking
things. We removed it intentionally, since some customers were adding
whitespace to the end and getting blank pages / cookie errors."
This was posted by a senior developer for a VERY popular PHP product.
Any body care to comment on this,
Just to fully clarify this, I have seen the same argument put forth for
a few projects, one thing they all have in common is using ob_start and
saving all content generated to the buffer, before finally releasing it
at the end.
Personally, I'm nor a big fan of buffering the output like that because
it leads to a laggier looking display(when you don't buffer, the page
loads as it is built, instead of waiting on a blank page untill the page
is generated and then appearing in one block)
However, I do see the attraction and even necessity for some
products...like a certain CMS I like to use. :-)
Personally, I'd be more concerned about the missing comments and
documentation than a missing closing tag.
