I have seen some projects where people start with opening tag <?php but they DON'T close it with ?> This is especially the case of CONFIG.php files... 1) What's the reason of that?

Closing the PHP tag is implicit at the end of a file to avoid extra unwanted white-space.

2) What if you would not close any 100% PHP files?

Nobody would care.

3) What's the reason of making an empty space after ?> I've also seen this in some projects.
