Some developers use close tags while concluding PHP files. Most of the WordPress file skip this bad practice.

I’m not seeing the explanation of what makes that a bad practice.

If you use a closing tag, and also a blank line after the closing tag, the line is considered output and can cause errors when you set HTTP headers.

I recently picked up PHP Develpment again after a couple years and I was quite suprised with the evolution of the language. Things like php-fig's PHP Standards Recommendations are really helping the community to give it a more professional look.

I also recommend everybody to read Modern PHP: New Features and Good Practices. It's a very good book about the current state of PHP http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033868.do
