<?php tag MUST be followed by a blank line

[gmponos]

In my opinion I believe that this new PSR should stricly declare if the <?php tag MUST or MUST NOT be followed by a blank line.

Hmm... I just found out this MR. I made this change based on the example following the line I have changed which has a blank line after the tag. The other examples that do not have a File-level docblock do not seem to have a blank line.

So how is this decided? Should this be on the judgement of each developer if he will leave a blank line or not?

Currently it's on the judgment of each developer.

[gmponos]

So what are your thoughts about it? Should be left as is or force a blank/not blank line rule?

[samdark]

There are cases where opinions were contradicting each other:

<?php

namespace my\soft;

class X
{
}

and

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

or even

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

That's why that was left out for now.

@php-fig/psr-12

[michaelcullum]

It does.

[gmponos]

It does.

What does?

[PSR-12] should strictly declare if the <?php tag MUST or MUST NOT be followed by a blank line.
