This is documented behaviour, and with a reason (to allow better formatting of php code without
ruining the layout of the output)

RTFM: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php#language.basic-syntax.phpmode

(admittingly, it's just a very small sentence...)

Hello,

I'm using php as a powerful generic macro processor for ascii files, which contains some php
code. Everything is OK, except a very annoying problem when the php code generates nothing. For
example:

--------- FILE 1 ---------
var0 = "a constant string"
var1 = <?= $hh1 ?>
var2 = <?= $hh2 ?>
var3 = "another constant string"
---------------------------

with $hh1 and $hh2 empty will generate:

---------------------------
var0 = "a constant string"
var1 = var2 = var3 = "another constant string"
---------------------------

instead of :
---------------------------
var0 = "a constant string"
var1 = 
var2 = 
var3 = "another constant string"
---------------------------

NB: If I put a space after the ?>, the newline is not stripped.
