Expected? In which manual it is written?
I waste a whole day to understand why my table is one line below the
"expected".

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
"&#1087;»&#1111;" 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:
--------------
&#1087;»&#1111;
