Can’t remove white space

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 27.2012

Hey,

I recently come across some “white space” on a page of my website and I couldn’t figure out what it was.

I used the Firebug tool on Firefox and I see this code appearing above one of my div tags:

[code=php][/code]

So I went through the .php file and I could not find this code anywhere to remove it.

I then did some research and found a few other people who had the same issue. They managed to remove the code by opening the .php file in Notepad++ and encoding the file to: “Encode in UTF-8 without BOM”.

I tried this and even tried opening the .php file in the default Notepad and making all the code “plain text”, then re-uploading the file to my server.

But no luck, I still have the “white space”.

Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks

@BelrickJun 28.2012 — Hiya, i was having a major display issue bug recently that caused me grief. It was caused by white space coming through from layout of my code (to make it easier to read)

For example
[code=php]
echo "<table>
<tr>
<td>hi</td>
</tr>
</table>";
[/code]
Caused me no end of grief

The fix was
[code=php]
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>";
echo...
[/code]

Etc

@jimr451Jun 28.2012 — You can also just output the HTML code directly, like this:

[code=php]?>
<table><Tr><Td>Hi</td></tr></table>
<?
...continue php
?>[/code]

That harnesses more of the power of php - to segregate pieces of html from php code for cleaner and easier web pages.
