线路终结器在这个php片段之后去了哪里？

Question

Here is my HTML code.

<?php
   // php code that adds a single div
?>

<script id = "conf">

There is clearly two return characters after the final

?>

However, the output is like this:

<div id='conf'></div>
<script id = "conf">

It seems a return character (line terminator ) was "sucked up". It appears that the PHP snippet does this some how.

Why is this?

Is this expected behavior?

I just find it odd. Obviously a return character could be added, but how is one subtracted? Just find it odd.

Clarification:

I'm talking about under view source. Not the actual HTML document.

Answer 1

The closing tag for the block will include the immediately trailing newline if one is present.

As per the PHP manual.

I agree it seems a bit strange. I ran into this behavior when trying to format and indent the resulting HTML. To force a newline, add a space at the end of the line and it will be rendered.
