It's really neither. It's a function of the language definition. '<?php' means "start interpretting the following as PHP code". '?>' ends the PHP interpretation. If there's no need to end the PHP interpretation at the end of a file and return to "normal" output mode, then the trailing '?>' is extraneous. -- Jon Parise ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
