Your messages seem to indicate that when the wiki loads either
includeurl.php, or backup_pages.php, or both, there is exatcly one,
not two, blank line ("\n") at the top of the HTML output, but when
both recipes are commented out and not loaded, there is no blank line(s).
Can you confirm this?
Almost. If either recipe is loaded, there is one blank line. If both are
loaded there are 2 blank lines. Using a regular expression match test,
the blank lines match "\n".
If yes, I'd check if this is not some Byte Order Mark (BOM), ie. files
were modified with a text editor and saved in "UTF-8 encoding with
BOM", while they should be saved "without BOM" in a text editor which
allows this.
I asked my user to run a wiki page against the W3C html validator and it
doesn't return any validation errors. However, I don't know for sure if
presence of a BOM constitutes an html validation error.
I'll ask him to try saving the files without BOM and see what happens.
We have found a work-around that fixes the problem for PublishPDF that
works for this particular use case, but it is not a general solution, so
it would be good to get to the bottom of this.
There is an example at
http://metastudies.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Site.USPatent146407 -- using
View Page Source shows 2 blank lines at the start of the html.
If no, I'd check any and all files in the pmwiki/local and
pmwiki/cookbook directories for a closing "?>" marker and for a BOM.
And all files that the person may have modified in the pmwiki/scripts
directory.
A BOM for UTF-8 contains 3 characters "\xEF\xBB\xBF". If you don't use
a compatible text editor, they may appear as weird characters,
space(s) or may be hidden/invisible - not exactly a new line, but may
break some parsers.
I tested the two recipes with both PHP 5.3 and 5.5 and I only get a
blank line with backup_pages.php before I remove the "?>" tag.
Yes, I can't replicate the error either, which makes it hard to diagnose.
