Included Files Corrupting Things
Whitespace before or after the php start and end markers
White space or any characters before or after the <?php and ?> will be output in the same way as echo(as html) in an included file. This can be a problem, for instance having a line break after the ?> and the file being included before say the start of say an echo'd xml output will corrupt the xml output as a valid xml document requires the first line XML definition at the top of the file before any line break.
