This injects a "Content-type" header into the HTTP response itself.
The <meta> tag should do the same thing; it is an instruction to the
browser to act like it saw the following header.

No, this is fine. If you are *just* doing PHP, you do not have to
worry about putting a "php" after the "<?". It is only when you mix
server-side scripting languages inline that you *must* be specific.

Also, whitespace does not matter between the <? and ?> tags.
