Thank you for clarifying that. I will relay this to the user that originally submitted an issue to our project. https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/5701 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-09-22 09:57:19] requinix@php.net php_strip_whitespace() respects the value of short_open_tag. If you have it disabled then the function will not know to interpret what you are using as PHP code and will not strip the whitespace from it. The docs don't mention that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-09-22 09:52:41] rob dot bast at gmail dot com Sorry, expected result should be: php -r 'var_dump(php_strip_whitespace("test.php"));' Command line code:1: string(4) "<?\n " ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-09-22 09:51:24] rob dot bast at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Using php_strip_whitespace on a file that makes use of the short tag notation <? does not result in any whitespace being stripped (such as docblocks etc). This could/should be explicitly mentioned in the documentation.
