Ryan Byrd’s Tech Ramblings

1. http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php shows an alternative syntax for loops:

    foreach($list as $item)
    {
        echo $item;
    } 

can be done as:

    foreach($list as $item):
        echo $item;
    endforeach

2. if your server has short tags enabled, you can do this:

<?

$somevar="hello";

?>

<?=$somevar?>
