[PHP] What is white space

Most of the time, I edit files via the command line, (FBSD). When the files are saved, it adds a \n (newline) character (at least I believe that is what it is) after the closing ? When viewing these files in a windows GUI editor, there is an extra line after the ? closing tag. Using the php
