Why you close the PHP tag to open it again?, why you just don’t echo your var?
It´s WordPress and us guys programming “regular” PHP will never understand…
He’s using the New Lines (Enter/Return) the PHP tags are ‘creating’ by existing so that it outputs them in his HTML. It’s a bit useless for HTML, I agree, but it makes reading the source easier to read if you’re looking for errors. If he did it just as you suggested, it would be all Echo’d onto ONE line, instead of many. 🙂
Hi Crystal, he is using ternary operators so he is not really concerned about code readability.
