Is this beta or bad practice: require/include results in empty document

I am not a php wizard.  I have been fiddling around with PHP and MySQL
for a project I'm working on.  I had the beginings of a project going
and came across where I wanted to do some stack operations with an
array (use array_push and array_pop), so I saw that those functions were
4.0 only, so I upgraded to php-4.0b2, and now no require or includes
seem to work.  It was working under my 3.0 install, but not the 4.0.

System: RedHat 6.0, Apache 1.3.6
     Old: mod_php installed with rpm
     New: php-4.0b2 compiled and installed

I feel I brought it down to base level where the following will not
work.  If I comment out the require and the printHeader(), and uncomment
the echos, I will get a test page, otherwise I get "The document
contained no data".  I've played with the include_path and restarted
apache and no luck.

index.php:
<?
require 'header.inc';
printHeader();

# echo "   <html> <head> <title>";
# echo "      Test title";
# echo "   </title> </head>";
# echo "   <body>";
?>
   This is a test.
</body> </html>

header.inc:
<?
function printHeader() {
?>
   <html> <head> <title>
      Test title
   </title> </head>
   <body>
<?
}
?>

This is more of a question of is this a bug that should be reported or
am I configuring/doing something wrong here by stumbling on a big
incompatibility from PHP3?
