Unexpected Output: 

Output Problem

[skeezmo]

Hello, I am coding a website for a friend, and for some reason, there is an output that occurs when the page is run through an Apache Web Server that I cannot explain.

When you access this file via a remote web address, at the top of every document is this output: 

I have deduced that this is no where in the code because when the file is opened just to view locally it appears fine. But if you think it would help to see the code, just ask.

I would really appreciate your help on this.

Can anyone figure out what the problem is?

Thank you in advance for any help.

It is the byte-order mark. You're probably using PHP? If so, try to save the file as UTF-8 without the BOM - if your editor permits it.

There are quite a few other threads about this problem, which can be quite difficult to solve:
