I know they're not necessary, but I thought they were required in PEAR. After reviewing the CS manual I don't see any mention of them being required. I know Zend Framework explicitly forbids using the closing ?> for the reason you mention. Also, a single newline after the closing ?> is does not cause problems. It's when there is more than one newline or when there is other whitespace that problems arise. Mike
