Not that this is all all that unique, but we've found this a useful tool to find the extra white space in our php files, so thought I'd contribute it:
I like this approach. And I vote against the -hackish- way of simply not using ?>.
It is not less hackish then using a trailing comma in an array definition. It is a feature provided by the language, and encouraged by the PHP Manual. $arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5,);
I have some standard relpacement expressions that i (sometimes forget to) run before I commit a file or a patch. It checks for * print_r, queryd ;) * ' ' lots of whitespace towards the end of the line * whitespace after ?>
Can we not run such a fix-o-matic every now and then on the core and the contribs?
How would this integrate with CPanel? Goba
