We often find that there are some extra blank lines in the page for no reason, but we see it in the editor. We know that this is caused by BOM (UTF-8). Let me share with you some of them. Methods for detecting and deleting BOM (UTF-8).

The picture below is the HTML code seen with firebug after the situation mentioned above occurs.

Figure 1

There is an extra blank line inexplicably, but when we look at the source code, it is not there.


My most common method is to use php to replace

BOM: Universal code file signature BOM (Byte Order Mark, U+FEFF)

The content of the BOM can indicate which encoding UNICODE is, but the received file needs to be disassembled and written into the DB. Seeing the BOM feels a bit ooxx.


In utf8_encode, I saw two programs that can be used to test writing/removing BOM.

Add BOM before the written file content

The code is as follows Copy code
 代码如下 复制代码

function writeUTF8File($filename,$content)
{
    $f = fopen($filename, 'w');
    fwrite($f, pack("CCC", 0xef,0xbb,0xbf));
    fwrite($f,$content);
    fclose($f);
}
?>

function writeUTF8File($filename,$content) {
 代码如下 复制代码

function removeBOM($str = '')
{
   if (substr($str, 0,3) == pack("CCC",0xef,0xbb,0xbf)) {
       $str = substr($str, 3);
   }
   return $str;
}
?>

$f = fopen($filename, 'w');

fwrite($f, pack("CCC", 0xef,0xbb,0xbf));

fwrite($f,$content);

fclose($f);
}
?>

 代码如下 复制代码

function isUTF8($string)
{
    return (utf8_encode(utf8_decode($string)) == $string);
}

Remove BOM function
The code is as follows Copy code
function removeBOM($str = '') { if (substr($str, 0,3) == pack("CCC",0xef,0xbb,0xbf)) {          $str = substr($str, 3); } Return $str; } ?>
Thus, the above BOM = pack("CCC",0xef,0xbb,0xbf), so the way to remove BOM can be written with the above removeBOM function or one of the following: ■str_replace("锘�", '', $bom_content); ■preg_replace("/^锘�/", '', $bom_content); Also see the function to determine whether this string is UTF-8:
The code is as follows Copy code
function isUTF8($string) { Return (utf8_encode(utf8_decode($string)) == $string); }

Use shell in linux system to solve the problem

Before discussing in detail the detection and deletion of BOM in UTF-8 encoding, you might as well warm up with an example:

 代码如下 复制代码
shell> curl -s http://www.bKjia.c0m/ | head -1 | sed -n l
锘�br /> //EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> $

As shown above, the first three bytes are 357, 273, and 277 respectively, which is the octal BOM.

 代码如下 复制代码
shell> curl -s http://www.111cn.Net/ | head -1 | hexdump -C

As shown above, the first three bytes are EF, BB, and BF, which is the hexadecimal BOM. Note: The page of a third-party website is used, and there is no guarantee that the example will always be available. When actually doing project development, you may face hundreds or thousands of text files. If a few files are mixed with BOM, it will be difficult to detect. If there is no UTF-8 text file with BOM, you can use vi to make up a few. The relevant commands are as follows:

Set UTF-8 encoding:

 代码如下 复制代码
:set fileencoding=utf-8

Add BOM:

 代码如下 复制代码
:set bomb

Delete BOM:

 代码如下 复制代码
:set nobomb

Query BOM:

 代码如下 复制代码
:set bomb?

How to detect BOM in UTF-8 encoding?

The code is as follows Copy code
 代码如下 复制代码

shell> grep -r -I -l $'^锘�' /path如何删除UTF-8编码中的BOM呢?

shell> grep -r -I -l $'^锘�' /path | xargs sed -i 's/^锘�//;q'

shell> grep -r -I -l $'^锘�' /path How to delete the BOM in UTF-8 encoding?

shell> grep -r -I -l $'^锘�' /path | xargs sed -i 's/^锘�//;q'
 代码如下 复制代码

#!/bin/bash

REPOS=""
TXN=""

SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook

for FILE in $($SVNLOOK changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | awk '/^[AU]/ {print $NF}'); do
    if $SVNLOOK cat -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" "$FILE" | grep -q $'^锘�'; then
        echo "Byte Order Mark be found in $FILE" 1>&2
        exit 1
    fi
done

Recommendation: If you use SVN, you can add relevant code to the pre-commit hook to eliminate BOM.

The code is as follows Copy code

#!/bin/bash REPOS="$1"

TXN="$2"


SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook

for FILE in $($SVNLOOK changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | awk '/^[AU]/ {print $NF}'); do If $SVNLOOK cat -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" "$FILE" | grep -q $'^锘�'; then
echo "Byte Order Mark be found in $FILE" 1>&2
exit 1
fi

done

This article uses a lot of shell commands

How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types?How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types?Apr 17, 2025 am 12:25 AM

PHP type prompts to improve code quality and readability. 1) Scalar type tips: Since PHP7.0, basic data types are allowed to be specified in function parameters, such as int, float, etc. 2) Return type prompt: Ensure the consistency of the function return value type. 3) Union type prompt: Since PHP8.0, multiple types are allowed to be specified in function parameters or return values. 4) Nullable type prompt: Allows to include null values ​​and handle functions that may return null values.
