Hi Todd,

You're more likely to get sensible answers to your questions if you try to
keep to the point - read this:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

From what you've posted the most likely causes of the problem are:

1) the BOM marker at the start of a UTF-8 encoded source file - you *must*
save your files as ASCII.

2) an auto-prepend file specified in the php.ini or webserver config.

HTH
