Lax Tag Closing

Both in PHP and ColdFusion I recently discovered that you don’t need to close certain script elements to have them run correctly, which is highly annoying coming from someone who has spent a considerable amount of time learning and abiding by XHTML rules. Internet Exploder was (and still is) famous for being flexible on letting users not close their tags properly.

This was acceptable at the turn of the century when website creation was more fashionable and less well-known. But for server side languages this just seems lazy. In PHP, you don’t need to put in the closing ?> and in CF I’ve witnessed a missing </cfquery>. I hope that this is a legacy element that has only survived because of older websites, but I doubt it since these could have been eliminated with PHP 5 and ColdFusion MX were released.
