It could be the notepad++ program, I am personally not familiar with
that, however, if you are accessing the file through windows (i
assume) for viewing/editing, likely using the URL for the file to open
it, then the server is executing the script as though a web browser
requested it and is sending the output of the script...just my guess.
If you run some sort of editing program on your server, to make the
changes, probably the issue would not occur.
