So how does the parser know where PHP ends and HTML starts?
Simple, PHP starts where you have <?php (or an alternative that has been
configured) and PHP ends where there is a ?> and HTML starts.
IE
<?php
// this is PHP code
?>
This is html
<?php
// this is some more PHP
?>
This is more html
<?php
//this is more PHP
// This is the end of the file
You don't need a closing tag at the end of the file if you don't place
any HTML code at the end.
And since there are some operating systems where some editors will stick
a blank space at the end of a file accidentally, not placing the closing
?> on the file means if some extra spaces/lines get added to the end of
the file, they are not treated as HTML.
