PHP adding phantom output lines

Greetings, I posted this to a bug report quite some time ago, but it was *dismissed* as unable to reproduce. The problem happened with the switch to 4.x and I have been waiting to see if it was ever going to get fixed. It hasn't, so I thought I would try again to get the problem resolved. Copy this to a .php file and run it. View the source. Looks fine. Then comment out the: $oHTML->do_html(); line and uncomment the same function call below, but leave the call broken across two lines, just after the arrow operator. Run it and view the source, there will be a blank line *before* the <HTML> tag. I found this because it was creating output before I wanted output and my header() functions were failing. Again, this happened when moving from 3.x to 4.x. Thanks, Matthew <?php class htmlout { function do_html() { print "<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n</HEAD>\n"; print "<BODY>\nTest\n</BODY>\n</HTML>\n"; } } $oHTML = new htmlout; $oHTML->do_html(); /* By placing the function on a separate line, php generates a line of output. Comment out the above line and uncomment the following 2. Then view the HTML generated. Notice the blank line above the <HTML> tag. */ //$oHTML-> // do_html(); ?>
