PHP files starting with <?php no ?> at end?

Hello,

A few PHP files I have checked begin with  <?php on the first line but, do not have  ?> as the last line. Was this done on purpose? And if so. why do you not need  ?> on the last  line?

Read the note on this page where it tells you it's optional.
