Don’t end them with ?> - if you leave it out, it’s implied and it prevents blank lines from accidentally being outputted when you have newlines after the ?>

I understand this. I use this method all the time with standard PHP includes. But I am unsure when it comes to how SS processes php files.

I mean, should this rule apply to Page Types or DataObject files I create in /mysite/?

Does it apply everywhere an extender or module developer uses PHP? I've always been under the impression, that in roll-your-own php apps, this method should only be used on included php files, not primary pages that a user might view directly. (I may have misunderstood this)

Im fairly sure that this rule is just a good practice to use on every file that is purely PHP. It helps to prevent the "header has already been sent" messages and stuff.

Thanks for the clarification guys.
