Question

Sequential semicolons; do not return syntax error?

$name = 'John Doe';;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
$age = 16;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
$address = 'Planet Earth';;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Should this be considered a mistake? PHP does not return any syntax errors at all.

It's not a mistake. It is simply an expression in which there is nothing. That's right.
