note 100177 added to function.print

sdaau's 22-Dec-2009 note is incorrect. print "" does *not* append a "\n" character. It produces the same output as echo -- no bytes at all. This script edited on Linux *will* output a single "\n" character: 1: <?php 2: print ""; 3: ?> 4: The newline character is the one following '>' at the end of the script. If the script was edited on Windows, you would get two characters "\r\n". To avoid this, don't terminate the last line of the script. If your text editor won't let you end a file with an unterminated line, then you could do this: 1: <?php 2: print ""; 3: exit; 4: print "this will never happen"; 5: ?> 6: <b>neither will this</b> 7: The script above will generate Content-Length: 0, because exit causes output to stop immediately. ...Tom ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 64.253.149.226 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.print.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100177 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100177/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100177/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100177/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100177/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100177/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100177/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100177 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100177 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
