PHP 4.2.2 (linux) doesn't seem to mind if I leave off the closing ?> tag at
the end of a file. Is the ?> assumed at EOF?
I have PHP that outputs binary and along the way I include() a lot of php
scripts. I'm constantly having problems when I leave a little whitespace at
the end of some script after the ?> which screws up the output binary.
First time this happened it took me hours to figure out the cause.
What does everyone think about just leaving off the ?> as a solution to
this? It works for me now, but would any PHP developer care to
prognosticate on the liklihood this might change in future?
