Hello,

I have noticed a problem in codeigniter and I'm wondering what is causing it.

To replicated the error, from a fresh install of codeigniter I open up the welcome controller and edit it so it is as follows:

Code:
&lt;?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

 /**

  * Index Page for this controller.

  *

  * Maps to the following URL

  *   http://example.com/index.php/welcome

  * - or -  

  *   http://example.com/index.php/welcome/index

  * - or -

  * Since this controller is set as the default controller in 

  * config/routes.php, it's displayed at http://example.com/

  *

  * So any other public methods not prefixed with an underscore will

  * map to /index.php/welcome/<method_name>

  * @see http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html

  */

 public function index()

 {

  $this->load->view('test');

 }

}

/* End of file welcome.php */

/* Location: ./application/controllers/welcome.php */

If I then open up views/test.php and put in some html so the file looks like this:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

  &lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" charset="utf-8"&gt;

  &lt;title&gt;Test&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

  <p>Test</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

If I then load the application in the browser and view source, I can see the contents of views/test.php, but there is a blank line after </html>. In the browser 'view source' I have 10 lines when views/test.php is only 9.

My question is how do I stop this blank line and only send the browser the code which is in view/test.php and get rid of the blank line?

Correct HTML 5.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html lang="en"&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;Test&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

    <p>Test</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

I have seen all of users on here leaving out the the html doctype.
