I was under the impression that a section of PHP code (the part
between <?PHP and ?>) was independent of any other section of PHP
code. Today I found the following code in a working program:
<?php if (!empty($error_message)) { ?>
<p class="error"><?php echo $error_message; ?></p>
<?php } ?>
This is the first time I have seen a section of PHP code end in the
middle of a PHP statement and restart after some HTML was inserted. I
was surpised that the PHP interpreter was able to connect the two
sections of PHP code.
My question is not how the interpreter does it (that's way beyond my
level of knowledge) but rather
1. Does this only work in special cases or does it work in all
cases?
2. Is it considered good programming, bad programming or personal
preference?
Thanks for some insight,
Tom
