 * Hi I just downloaded WP 1 day ago and was having a huge issue with it installing.
   I read somewhere to make sure that the php coding was closed and sure enough 
   the wp_config page was missing the “?>” at the bottom of the page. I don’t know
   if I was the only one with that issue, but I figured it needed posting.

 * The closing `?>` isn’t needed on PHP files and has been deliberately omitted 
   from the wp-config.php file.
