<para>
The closing tag of a PHP block at the end of a file is optional,
- and in some cases omitting it is helpful when using output buffering and
- <function>include</function> or <function>require</function>.
+ and in some cases omitting it is helpful when using
<function>include</function>
+ or <function>require</function>, so unwanted whitespace will
+ not occur at the end of files, and you will still be able to add
+ headers to the response later. It is also handy if you use output
+ buffering, and would not like to see added unwanted whitespace
+ at the end of the parts generated by the included files.
