you could have autoprepend on, set to prepend a file with response
body content in it.
you could be using a free host which prepends a file
you could have saved the php file with BOM mark (which some editors
save before the <?php if you save as UTF8)
there is definately body content being returned I suggest using a
proxy to see what exactly and go from there. download fiddlertool for
windows i assume youre on windows.
