As in C or Perl, PHP requires instructions to be terminated with a semicolon at the end of each statement. The closing tag of a block of PHP code automatically implies a semicolon; you do not need to have a semicolon terminating the last line of a PHP block. The closing tag for the block will include the immediately trailing newline if one is present.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | <?php echo 'This is a test'; ?> <?php echo 'This is a test' ?> <?php echo 'We omitted the last closing tag'; |
