better yet just drop the last ?> if there is no static text to output in the rest of
the file... e.g.

---------------------------------------------------
<?php

phpinfo();
include "my_special_info.php"

?>

---------------------------------------------------

becomes:

---------------------------------------------------
<?php

phpinfo();
include "my_special_info.php"


---------------------------------------------------

no more trailing spaces issues at any rate :-)
