Well, blank space is ok, but it depends on where it is. For example..

----------- start file1.php3 -----------

<?php
SetCookie("TestCookie", "abc");
echo "hi!";
?>
----------- end file1.php3 -----------

and..

----------- start file2.php3 -----------
<?php

SetCookie("TestCookie", "abc");
echo "hi!";
?>
----------- end file2.php3 -----------

Which one will work and which will die?? file2.php3 will work and
file1.php3 will die. This is because in file1.php3, the whitespace is
before the <?php tag. If you want to set a cookie, you cannot have any (or
at least a \n) whitespace before the first opening php tag. The second
works fine because the <?php tag is the very first thing. The whitespace
in that is not sent to the browser, and therefore the script works fine.
