RE: [PEAR-DEV] question regarding file format standard

furthermore, if you don't have that last linefeed, (some) programs [ie., in a shell/console] will display your prompt on the last line of the file, and not on a new line. Example: $ cat foo this is a line of text. The file ends here. %User@HostName> Colin Ross Web Assistant World Study Group 2226 Bush Street San Francisco, CA 94115 www.worldstudygroup.com cross@worldstudygroup.com ________________________________ From: Daniel Convissor [mailto:danielc@analysisandsolutions.com] Sent: Wed 12/8/2004 6:23 PM To: Nick Kramer Cc: pear-dev@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PEAR-DEV] question regarding file format standard On Wed, Dec 08, 2004 at 06:03:02PM -0800, Nick Kramer wrote: > Why do the PEAR File Format standards request that scripts end with > an extra line feed following the closing php tag?
