Description:
------------
When parsing HTML source code, PHP seems to "eat" the linefeed after the ?> marker.

Tested on Windows XP Professional SP1 with Apache 1.3.31 and PHP 4.3.9. Unfortunately, I can't test it with any other versions (I do not have administrator access to the machine).


Reproduce code:
---------------
File test.php :
---------------

<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head><body>
<pre style="border: 1px solid black;">
line 1
<?php echo "line 2"; ?>
line 3
<?php echo "line 4"; ?>
line 5
</pre>
</body>
</html>


Expected result:
----------------
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5


Actual result:
--------------
line 1
line 2line 3
line 4line 5


Note 1: Ok, I realize there are no "\n" ni my echo statements. However, there *is* a linefeed after each ?> in the HTML code, and I wouldn't expect PHP to remove them.

Note 2: by adding an extra character after the ?> (say, a space char), the ouput is correct.

Note 3: the problem arises whether I save the test.php file with PC-style (\n), Unix-style (\r\n), or Mac-style (\r) linefeeds.
