I see now that it isn't an issue with the core of Vim itself. The tabbing would be dependent on the language (not to mention the programmer's preferences). So perhaps it is possible to edit the indent/php.vim to get the behavior I want. > I can conceive of no advantage to adding these extra bytes to the > file.

When I first started coding with Vim, I found it annoying that on one of these lines with no tabs on it, I would have to go into insert mode and then tab over then start editing. That is, until I found that I could hit S to begin editing and it would do the tabbing for me and I could start editing right away. So now I don't mind that there are no tabs on those lines. The problem is that I'm not the only one editing our files, but I'm the only one using Vim. So everyone else has to add tabs to the lines to start editing them. So it is to be a convenience to the others editing these files with Eclipse, Xcode, Notepad++, etc... Last note: I do appreciate the input and help here.
