Hi, 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? 2) What if you would not close any 100% PHP files? 3) What's the reason of making an empty space after ?> I've also seen this in some projects. Thanks for ideas, Martin

Martin: I've heard all the reasons why one should not put a "?>" at the end of a php file, but for me, I'm just a creature of habit -- I like symmetrical things. Certainly I know the minor dangers of white space, but I always make certain that my files end with "?>" with no trailing white space. Like with all programming languages, if you do it right, it will work right*.
