NYCPHP Meetup

[D C Krook]

Greetings,

I noticed at Zeev's demo of the Zend Studio that he tended to leave off the 
end ?> tag when writing up sample code.


In the phpComponents documentation (http://pcoms.net/submit.php), Hans 
advises leaving it off:

"Layout: The first line of pCom source should only contain <?php the full 
opening PHP tag. Closing PHP tags must not be used...The full opening PHP 
tag <?php should always be used, where as closing tags should never be 
used."


On the other hand, Sterling strongly advises that it not be left off 
(http://lists.php.net/article.php?group=php.lang&article=403):

"I definitely think that _you_ should do it."


Is there any rationale for leaving it off?  Style? Performance?  Ensuring 
that you're keeping logic separate from presentation templates?


Thanks for any thoughts,
-Dan
