Blank Line at top of file

Hi, Has anyone else ever had the problem that if you leave a blank line at the top of your script that it sometimes doesn't work (gives a parse error) ? Sometimes all I have to do to fix my code is remove the blank line (if there is one) and it works!! Any ideas why? Is there something in the php.ini that controls this? Please help, very puzzled...
