Ok, someone has just shown me a piece of PHP code and at the end of the file I’ve seen a stray <?php } ?> . I thought that should give a compilation error, but it doesn’t.

Why is:

<?php
  if(1==1){
?>
X
<?php } ?>

valid?

Is it safe to split a statement into multiple php blocks?

PS: I was expecting for something more from the answers then “yes” 😀

    From the manual:

    Everything outside of a pair of opening and closing tags is ignored by
    the PHP parser which allows PHP files to have mixed content. This
    allows PHP to be embedded in HTML documents, for example to create
    templates.

    Welcome to the mysterious world of PHP.
