indeed yes - thanks. I re-coded all my source files in utf-8 without BOM and everything started to work as expected. This report is bogus - but contains information that may be useful to others. Perhaps something for the manual? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-04 02:42:13] j...@php.net BOM? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-03 23:44:54] ian at ianhobson dot co dot uk My server is set up to use utf8. I did not notice this problem when using Latin1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-03 23:43:26] ian at ianhobson dot co dot uk Description: ------------ include-ing a file that includes another file before producing any output, results in a few invalid characters being emitted before the <DOCTYPE> line Reproduce code: --------------- Create a file with any trivial content. Include, require or require_once it from a second file. This second file needs the php tags and the include line only. Include this second file in a page like this (which is valid). <?php // test0.php require_once "test1.php"; ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html><head> <title>Test Demo Page</title> </head><body> <p>This page has junk before the doctype</p> </body></html> Expected result: ---------------- The source should start with the "<" of the doctype line as its first character. Actual result: -------------- In iIE source, you will see 6 squares before the <!DOC... In Firefox validator it will complain about invalid characters in the prolog. If you move the content of the inner file up a level, all works correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46998&edit=1
