coding style - Multiple PHP tags

Question

This is just a general PHP question. Does it help or hurt to have multiple <?php CODE ?> in my scripts?

I was just looking at some of my scripts and noticed that some of them have 3-4 in it. Dont know if this is causing any slowness on my site or not :)

Answer 1

No, it's not causing any slowness or problems. It's perfectly common to have dozens or hundreds of separate <?php ?> blocks in templates.
