Leading Space in PHP Code Blocks

laserlight

It appears that there is a non-breaking space at the start of every PHP code block formed by the [php] forum bbcode.
This does not happen for code blocks created by the [code] forum bbcode.

An inspection of clientside source code seems to place the PHP code block after a comment, "". <code> is used, followed by nested <font>s. Immediately after the second <font> lies a nbsp; that should not be there.

The clientside source for the normal code blocks use <pre> and <div> - but I dont think that the use of <code> and <font> is the problem, the problem is just the space.

I second that.

i've seen this on other vBulletin sites too, not specific to phpbuilder. notice how the space is not there when the code starts with an opening PHP tag:

this line has a space
this line does not

as oppose to:

<?php
this line does not have a space
neither does this one
?>

I'll look into it ASAP

Doesn't seem to be a way to edit the included board bbcodes, only those you add custom

Really? Is it not open source? Seems like you should be able to find the bug somewhere and fix it... 😕

Yeah, vbulletin isnt open source... maybe this is better submitted as a bug to the vbulletin people instead. hmm....

notice how the space is not there when the code starts with an opening PHP tag:

Yep, there's no non-breaking space mysteriously inserted before the less than symbol. vbulletin's php tag code has an attitude problem 😃
