Obviously there are some places where it's important. e.g.

print "Foo";

will work.

print"Foo";

will not.

But overall, PHP is fairly flexible about white space: it certainly
doesn't need any after a statement terminator (semi-colon). More
generally, it doesn't usually need white space after a "punctuation mark".
e.g.

if(1==1){$v=4;$p=9;}else{$v=3;$p=10;}print($v+$p)."\n";
