RE: [PHP-WIN] Small Doubt in PHP Manual...pls help

It means that the ?>'\n' is actually taken by the PHP parser. I think the best way to explain it is with the following demo: random text <? echo "hello"; ?> <? echo "world"; ?> more random text will produce: random text helloworldmore random text instead of the (commonly) expected: random text hello world more random text However, since newline characters are of little or not significance in the land of HTML, I can't see this affecting you, however if they don't mention these things, people will submit it as a bug.
