CentOS - Apr 2017 - Withdraw - Re: Roundcubemail 1.1.8 possible bug?

I am installing Roundcubemail on Centos7-arm

roundcubemail-1.1.8-1.el7.noarch

The installer web app creates a config.inc.php to save within the 
/etc/roundcubemail/ directory.  It warns that:

"Make sure that there are no characters outside the <?php ?> brackets
when saving the file."

Thing is  there is no ?> at the end of this.  It is left out.  So I got 
to add that myself.  I should be able to just copy the content of the 
text box, and paste it into a cat > /etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php, 
but I am left having to at least having to add the ending ?>

I do not code php, I only use it in things like Roundcubemail, so I was 
at first surprised that the config file was missing the closing ?> tag.  
Then I noticed that ALL of the various php config files where missing 
it.  So I did some googling and found out it is actually recommended to 
leave it off.

Humph.

Leaving it off is a bad recommendation. Many have pointed that out.

The problem is that sometimes it results in content being sent after the 
php sends the content, when there is white space after the closing ?>

However the proper thing to do is make sure that you do not have white 
space after the closing ?>

Leaving the ?> off is sloppy coding and a sloppy solution.
