Daniel's tutorial does not terminate the "<?php" tags - I assume they get automatically terminated by EOF. Maybe they should be terminated explicitly in the tutorial.
Yes, ?> tags are not necessary at EOF. In fact the practice of adding ?> before EOF leads to bugs where some forms of file transfer programs insert a newline after the ?> creating whitespace that triggers "Headers already sent" fatal errors when uploaded to a webserver. For this reason it's standard practice in MediaWiki to NEVER use a ?> at the end of a PHP file.
