[SOLVED] Setting my Programming Editor

[jmr3460]

<?php
$test_post = "No space at top of php post";
?>

I am trying to find out how to set my editor so there is no whitespace at the beginning of my scripts.

If there is no space at the beginning of this script then it is fixed otherwise I will have to work on it.

Why is there a line at the top of my code?

I will try another editor on this code>

<?php
$post = "another editor";
?>

 

What is the deal?

its probably an encoding issule, but now saying what your using really doesn't help!

 

also this isn't a PHP question!

sorry I will try and find the solution somewhere else.

Ummm. It's called using the cursor keys (up-arrow, left-arrow) to move to the top of the file and delete the extra characters before the <?php tag.

Someone suggested once to save as a UTF-16 no BOM. Will this save as with no white space? I am going to try this.

<?php
include("dbin.php");
$table = "home";
$filename = 'log.txt';
mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($database) or die(mysql_error());
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table");
while ($info = mysql_fetch_array($data)){
$log = $info['id'] . " ||| " . $info['ip'] . " ||| " . $info['time'] . " ||| " . $info['browser'] . "\n";
if (is_writable($filename)) {
    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }
    if (fwrite($handle, $log) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }
    fclose($handle);
} else {
    echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}
}
    echo "Success, wrote () to file " . $filename;

?>

This is the only way I know that I can test this.

No there is still a blank line at the top of my code. Is this a good way to do this?

[jmr3460]

I found out why I have a blank line at the top of my code. it is the way I post I do the PHP with square brackets then I hit return. Bam a new line (or a blank line in my post). Now that is solved back to the coding.
