I have seen some projects where people start with opening tag <?php but they DON'T close it with ?>
This is especially the case of CONFIG.php files...

1) What's the reason of that?


Closing the PHP tag is implicit at the end of a file to avoid extra unwanted white-space.


2) What if you would not close any 100% PHP files?


Nobody would care.


3) What's the reason of making an empty space after ?>
I've also seen this in some projects.


Pass, but without output buffering they may have problems with cookies and other header-setting features.
