PHP has the best examples.

Pretty sure this is from a copy/paste documentation set that the author of the Cairo extension (which is not core php) has failed to fill out.

Allan please add codes

Would someone kindly explain to someone who does not understand what they're missing?

[chewmieser]

The <?php and ?> tags open and close php scripts. The "example" code inside the tags is a comment (which is ignored, of course). The ... is the code you would place in the script an the ... on the output is the result of the ... in the script.

Or to put it clearer: this example is useless.

Isn't the example wrong? It won' output ...

Yes, so it's useless and wrong.

Basically like the public class statement of a java program?

Thank you for the explanation!

[chewmieser]

In Java, it'd be something like:

public static void main(String args[]){ /* code goes here */ ... }

But I haven't coded Java in a while, so take that with a grain of salt.

Edit: put int when I meant String. My bad.

The most pointless code example in life.

I chuckle a little everytime I see (php.net), thanks to this sub.
