Normally, PHP doesn't do this automatically (AFAIK). The main reason being is that it is often the case that the BOM appears in the source code file before the <?php opening tag, so would block headers (session cookie for example). If a BOM is being issued by PHP, it is being done programmatically, or is being missed due to the initial source code file having the BOM set. See http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php#102431, http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php#95864, etc. Now. Having said all of that, you may find you are using some sort of output buffering and that is setting the BOM after the headers are sent. But, as it stands, PHP will not be generating the BOM for you. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
