Question:
When using php along with html, I know it works to omit the ";" in one-line php tags, but is there any problem this may cause?
Omit the ";" is it good practice or not?
<?php algumaFuncao() ?>
Where
<?php algumaFuncao(); ?>
EDIT
The question is for tags with an expression to be validated only, sorry for not specifying this earlier.
Answer:
In cases like expressions using the alternative syntax, I don't use the ; .
Example:
<?php foreach($array as $value) : ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
Some programmer friends criticized the lack of ; after the endif , but I'm sure no one would use one ; after closing a common if .
So:
<?php if ($x) { ?>
<?php }; ?>
I believe you are referring in your question to expressions, such as a simple echo , or a function call.
It is highly recommended to use the ; in these cases.
I tend to look at the source code of frameworks a lot, so I can try to improve my coding pattern. And looking at the Laravel 4 source code, I could see what it does when using Blade's syntax.
Example of a Blade code:
Meu nome é {{ $nome }} e tenho {{ $idade }} anos
Blade compiles the code like this:
Meu nome é <?php echo $nome; ?> e tenho <?php echo $idade; ?>
So we realized that this framework bothered to put the ; at the end of the expression.
