Description:
------------
If reading a file that contains "<?" this is ignored and any text afterwards on that line is ignored.
<?php - does not read
<? php - does not read
<?<?

Even with extra spaces before the <? gets shifted to the next line.

The fgetc reads the line and can show the data but lines read with the file() command ignores the line.

Test script:
---------------
Two files required:  phpinfo2.php
<?php - does not read
phpinfo();
<?
< ?
<?php - does not read
<? php - does not read
?>

Second file:  readFileViaPHP.php
<?
$lines = file('phpinfo2.php',FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES|FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
echo '<pre>';
print_r ($lines);
echo '</pre>';
echo  '<br />' . "\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
You should see all records from phpinfo2.php

Array
(
    [0] =>   <?php - does not read
    [1] =>   phpinfo();
    [2] =>   <?
    [3] =>   < ?
    [4] =>   <?php - does not read
    [5] =>   <? php - does not read
    [6] =>   ?>
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] =>   phpinfo();
    [2] =>    < ?
    [5] =>    ?>
)
