Small complaint about the PHP tag

Recently, I've noticed that the PHP tag makes the first line be indented by a space.

For example:

PHP Code:


		
			
// comment, it's indented, but not by me

// I made a line break after the PHP tag

PHP Code:


		
			
// comment, it's indented, but not by me

// I didn't make a line break after the PHP tag

Any chance of resolving this? It's a minute thing, yet seems to bother me for some strange reason.

By the way, it only started to do this recently, IMO.

Yeah, but the PHP tag has always been there for php...

Meh, doesn't really matter. Apart from when I try to copy from the HIGHLIGHT tag into notepad and it copies the line numbers...

The only problem with the highlight tag is it's longer than [php]

The features it offers are worth it though

Edit: any chance of a [highlight=perl] that works the same as highlight=perl? Obviously with other languages too though?

[i] BBCode as well...?

Other languages? Sure if we have the Perl one, there's no need
