Should I close my PHP tags in my CodeIgniter projects?

I've been working on a web application using CodeIgniter. I used some tutorials to write my Models and Controllers, and in those tutorials, the teacher left the PHP tags open and did not close them. Is this right? Or should I close them all in the Controller and Model files? Thanks in advance.

You don't need the closing ?> tag in your PHP files and not including it can help resolve some potential issues with PHP. It is a matter of preference, but overall many PHP developers omit the closing tag.
