title: When not to close a php file?
body: <p>I've come across a tutorial (reputable one if I may add) where the closing php tag <code>?&gt;</code> was omitted. This reminded me of a previous tutorial where the author said it's actually better <strong>not</strong> to close the tag, but didn't explain why. I'm a little surprised, I thought it was better practice to close the tag. Why is it better not to close it and is it all the time or in special cases only.</p>
