PHP programming question?

Question

Does the following code below mean the same thing, and if so, when is it better to code? And is there a name when there are no curly braces in the PHP code?

PHP code.

<?php if (isset($_POST['email'])) { echo $_POST['email']; }?>
<?php if (isset($_POST['email'])) echo $_POST['email'];?>

Answer 1

Personally, I always write statements that I can use curly braces with curly braces . For example, take the code:

if (UserIsLoggedIn())
    ShowCreditCardDetails();

Now, if some amateur coder comes in and wants to do something else when the user is logged in:

if (UserIsLoggedIn())
    WriteAuditLog();
    ShowCreditCardDetails();

It ShowCreditCardDetails()will now be launched for users who are not logged in, because only the first statement after ifis executed when there are no curly braces. If it were:

if (UserIsLoggedIn())
{
    ShowCreditCardDetails();
}
