PHP code with a variable in the same row

I try to make my files as small as possible and wonder why the following php code works in my Wordpress Installation

<?php 
    $mark_count = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_post_mark_count', true);
?>

and the following (same) php code not

<?php $mark_count = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_post_mark_count', true); ?>

When i put the code in one row, my site gets blank. No Error or else in the firebug console. It is a new WP Installation and there is no conflict between plugins. The installation is on a Apache Server and runs the latest PHP 7 version. Any idea how to fix this problem or why this happens?

@deceze - im new, sorry for my mistake. I edited my question... Is it ok this way? best – evavienna Dec 21 '17 at 14:30
Define "doesn't work". What does that mean? What does or doesn't it do? Error messages? If so, what? If not, how exactly do you conclude that it "doesn't work"? – deceze Dec 21 '17 at 14:34
@deceze - better now? – evavienna Dec 21 '17 at 14:48

Check your error logs and/or enable error reporting. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/12772851/476 – deceze Dec 21 '17 at 14:49
I bet it is a problem with the file encoding or line endings. – Markus Zeller Dec 21 '17 at 20:09
