endforeach in loops?

Question

I use brackets when using foreach loops. What is endforeach for?

Answer 1

It's mainly so you can make start and end statements clearer when creating HTML in loops:

    
        

        
            

        
        

        
        
            
        
        
        
    
         
record  has been deleted
    

versus

    
        

        
            

        
        

        
        
            
        
        
        
    
         
record  has been deleted
    

Hopefully my example is sufficient to demonstrate that once you have several layers of nested loops, and the indenting is thrown off by all the PHP open/close tags and the contained HTML (and maybe you have to indent the HTML a certain way to get your page the way you want), the alternate syntax (endforeach) form can make things easier for your brain to parse. With the normal style, the closing } can be left on their own and make it hard to tell what they're actually closing.
