Re: Blank Line at top of file

If you are trying to use any header functions, or cookies, or PHP 4 sessions, then a blank line has *MAJOR* significance at the top of a file. Headers are called headers because they come before the content -- but if you have a blank line, that *IS* content, and you can't send headers after content, cuz then they wouldn't be "headers" anymore: Because they couldn't come before the content then. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Stone" <matt@planetveggie.com> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Friday, December 01, 2000 1:59 AM Subject: [PHP] 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!!
