PHP结束语句是否需要分号,为什么在PHP的最后一个语句中的分号是可选的？

因为关闭标签意味着分号。您可以在

Instruction separation下的手册中阅读更多内容。

和报价从那里：

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.

一个例子来证明这一点：

1.在结尾处缺少分号的脚本，但带有结束标记：

echo "1";

echo "2"

//^ semicolon missing

?>

输出：

12

2.脚本结尾处缺少分号，但没有结束标记：

echo "1";

echo "2"

//^ semicolon missing (closing tag missing)

输出：

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in
