RAPID - PHP Close Tag Not Required

Postby Will Fastie » Sat Apr 28, 2018 6:58 pm

According to the PSR-2: Coding Style Guide:

  • The closing ?> tag MUST be omitted from files containing only PHP.
Currently, Rapid shows the <?php tag as unbalanced if the closing ?> is not present in the file.

Therefore I suggest adding the following option to Preferences | Language Options | PHP:
  • Do not require a closing ?> when a file contains only PHP.
Note that a PHP syntax check does not trip an error when the ?> is omitted.

It has become clear to me that omitting the closing ?> is a good programming practice because it can prevent stream errors.

I'm just starting to remove it. But it's not helpful when the editor flags it as an unclosed tag when it's legal syntax.

I'll +2 the relevant suggestion. For now don't pay any attention to the red opening tag. Thanks.

Thanks. I am ignoring the highlight but because I am still a bit new to Rapid I'm sensitive to everything.

I also noticed that the file created by File | New | PHP Script creates a file that includes the closing of the PHP tag.

You can open %APPDATA%\Blumentals\WeBuilder\templates\PHP and edit Empty.php and change its contents to whatever you like.

%APPDATA%\Blumentals\Rapid PHP\templates\PHP

This made me wonder whether some things should be one level up, as in

%APPDATA%\Blumentals\templates\PHP

or

%APPDATA%\Blumentals\editors\templates\PHP

I'm not making a feature request, just wondering...
