In a file mixing PHP and HTML, all PHP tags should be closed. Failure to close a tag in this type of file could lead to unexpected output when the file is processed.


== Noncompliant Code Example

----
<?=   // Noncompliant; never closed
$name = "George";

<p> Hello <?= $name ?>.</p>
----


== Compliant Solution

----
<?=
$name = "George";
?>

<p> Hello <?= $name ?>.</p>
----


== Exceptions

This rule does not apply to files that contain only a single opening tag and no inline HTML.
