RE: [PHP] newbe question

I'm not sure it will resolve your issue, but the closing ?> is not a requirement and will eliminate any chance of you adding whitespace to the end of your scripts: #!/usr/bin/php <?php echo "I'm some script output!" is a valid script. --- Kyle Smith Unix Systems Administrator Inforonics, LLC -----Original Message----- From: Andres Gonzalez [mailto:andres@packetstorm.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 11:29 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] newbe question Hi, I want to learn PHP so I started using it for all of my general purpose scripts. The general format of my scripts are like this: #!/usr/bin/php <?php .....bla bla bla PHP code ?> When I run my scripts and I have an echo (or print) at the end of the script to print out the results of the script, I get an extra line feed printed out. It seems that I can use this: echo " bla bla bla with no terminating line feed"; and I will not get a line feed. But when I use the echo at the end of the script I get a terminating line feed. Is this correct or am I misinterpreting this? Does echo and print always terminate the string with a \n ? The function manual does not seem to mention anything about this. thanks, -Andres -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
