This is driving me crazy.
I have this one php file on a test server at work which does not work.. I kept deleting stuff from it till it became
<? print 'Hello'; ?>
it outputs
Hello
if I create a new file and copy / paste the same script to it it works! Why does this one file give me the strange characters all the time?
That’s the BOM (Byte Order Mark) you are seeing.
In your editor, there should be a way to force saving without BOM which will remove the problem.
