Description:
------------
When you use include, require etc functions for including any file even
if it contain only <?php?> or <??> or even if it empty it will output
some doesn't seen to the eye (in the browser) special chars
"п»ї" 3 bytes (EF BB BF).
It happend when the included file is in UTF-8 encode.
I've found possibly only one solution at least in this stage, is to
save the file as "UTF8 without BOM" or ANSI. But don't UTF-8!
After I spent a lot of time to realize it and only when I find the
solution to this problem i found another report for this bug:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22108 from 2003
So it should be or fixed or at least be in the documentation!
Reproduce code:
---------------
---php.php---
<?php
include('file.php');
?>
---php.php---
--file.php---
...empty...
--file.php---
Expected result:
----------------
nothing
Actual result:
--------------
п»ї
