I use the alternative syntax for control structures almost exclusively
within my HTML code but I have to revert to braces for do...while. Why
can't we do this?
<? do: ?>
<tr>
<td><?= $s_array['name'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['classyear'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['status'] ?></td>
</tr>
<? while ($s_array = mysql_fetch_array($search_results): ?>
<? enddowhile ?>
It is a little cumbersome, but at least I can keep my syntax consistent.
Are there parser related problems?

<?php do { ?>
<tr>
<td><?= $s_array['name'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['classyear'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['status'] ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } while ($s_array = mysql_fetch_array($search_results); ?>
is much shorter, ain't it ?
It is, and that is what I currently do, but
<?php if ($x == TRUE){ ?>
<tr>
<td><?= $s_array['name'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['classyear'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['status'] ?></td>
</tr>
<? } ?>
Is generally less readable (especially in a large page) than:
<?php if ($x == TRUE): ?>
<tr>
<td><?= $s_array['name'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['classyear'] ?></td>
<td><?= $s_array['status'] ?></td>
</tr>
<? endif ?>
And I was looking for some consistency...not necessarily brevity.
