Unexpected characters with news display

The "greater than" character (>) jumps in between the two php echo()'s-why?

[matun]

Hello people.

I ran into a wierd problem. I have a UTF-8 encoded index.php which displays (correctly) news headlines and body's, but for some reason between those two echo's there is a "greater than" character displayed between them. I googled it a bit and thought it was a problem with "BOM signature" which is present in a UTF-8, but apparently that's not the problem. Can anyone point me in right direction as this situation is driving me nuts.

Hi Matun and welcome to Webmasterworld

As you cannot post priv urls, then we need a little bit of your code, that is echos and sth that's between them.

99% of the time the extra > is somewhere in the HTML as a result of a tag you removed at one point but didn't quite get the whole thing.

@mcibor:

Tnx for the welcome! I appreciate it.

@IanKelley:
Yep, you are right. I was searching for a ">" character but found none. It was that extra ">" tag that was making fun with me. All set up now. Apologies for an unnecessary post. Btw, WebmasterWorld is a rarely great knowledge base!

No posts are unnecessary - this your post opened a completely new way for you - a way on the webmasterworld path ;)

The same is with question - no question is stupid:

"Dad? Why is Black Sea black?"
"Couldn't you ask more clever questions?"
"Who killed the Dead Sea?"
