Check that you are not closing PHP tags on any of your scripts, ie "?>" as this will cause anything following to be sent to the output.

Blade file: Timestamp format and leading space
Hi! I'm building a Sitemap Generator and have some issues with it and kindly ask if you could give me some input.
- I want to change the date format of {{ unix() }} to match the standards of sitemap protocol. Is this in some way possible in a Blade file?
- You can see that I'm forwading a $tmp variable into the view to render this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>. I also tried to put this into the Blade file:<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?>But how ever I do this he puts a leading space before the line. :-) How can I get rid of this? (This produces an error since it expulses against the Sitemap protocol.
Here is my code:
// Method for creating the view
public function showSitemap()
{
$pages = Page::all();
$tmp = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>";
return response()->view('backend.pages.sitemap', ['pages' => $pages, 'tmp' => $tmp])->header('Content-Type', 'text/xml;charset=UTF-8');
}
// My Blade File
{!! $tmp !!}
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
@foreach($pages as $page)
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.org/{{ $page->url }}</loc>
<lastmod>{{ unix() }}</lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
@endforeach
</urlset>
And the error message:
Level 2
Hmm.
I must close this because it is a specification from http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html Or do I misunderstand you? Which codefragment would you change?
Level 25
Have you tried outputting it via <?=$xmlOpenTag; ?> instead of with blade?
EDIT: What about removing it altogether and seeing if the leading space is still present?

@thepsion5
Yes, when I remove altogehter the leading space is gone, so I thinks it's because of the <? ?> notation. When I just write test at the first line it is also without a leading space.
I don't fully understand your <?=$xmlOpenTag; ?>
In Blade file I have to use the { { } } / {!! !!} syntax to readout a variable -> so this doesn't work for me <?={!! $tmp !!} ?> nor <?= $tmp; ?>
Level 122
Why do you need to put the XML tag in a variable? Just put it in the blade file?
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
@foreach($pages as $page)
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.org/{{ $page->url }}</loc>
<lastmod></lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
@endforeach
</urlset>

@Snapey Nope :( Than he has some problems with version.
FatalErrorException in 79da7e70c5a57c64fe8eac4b4e3cf4bb line 1:
syntax error, unexpected 'version' (T_STRING)
This is driving me nuts...
I also tried to change my php.ini -> short_open_tag = 0 without luck. Wheather with shorttags yes or no neither of them worked.
// doesn't work
<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>'; ?>
Level 122
I have a working example. Not sure what it is that is different from my approach;
routes.php
Route::get('sitemap.xml', function() {
$pages = [ ['url' => 'abc'],
['url' => '123']
];
$xmlhdr = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>';
$view = view('sitemap', compact('xmlhdr','pages'));
return Response::make($view, '200')->header('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
});
and sitemap.blade.php
{!! $xmlhdr !!}
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
@foreach($pages as $page)
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.org/{{ $page['url'] }}</loc>
<lastmod></lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
@endforeach
</urlset>

After a couple of hours I now found the mistake I made. In the routes.php was a leading space at the first line which causes this error.
I also found a solution for the date format -> I just can use date() in a blade file for example { { date('Y-m-d') } }.
Thanks again all and especially @Snapey for your patience!
