It seems your "empty file" contain an empty line, http://wx2fly.com/test/emptyFile.php , which means it's not empty !
I think you can fix your problem by making your empty (or not) file starts with <?php, and be sure the php tag is NOT closed at the end of the file.

Seems that when using Notepad++ File>New File>SaveAS saves a file size 3 bytes - NOT EMPTY as expected. Using just the `open tag – ron Apr 22 '13 at 10:43

It's pretty hard to save an empty file with any editor (even vi ). On unix, you can "touch" an inexistant file to do the job, or type `:> myEmptyFile.php`. If not available (like windows), you may create a file containing only `` (and no space or newline after), or simply the opening php tag – Asenar May 13 '13 at 16:09
