Your top.php file was saved using an editor that (a) used UTF-8 encoding, and (b) inserted an unnecessary Byte-Order Mark at the start of the file when it was saved.

Since you're serving the page as ISO-8859-1 and not UTF-8, (a) would be the thing to fix, and then re-save top.php (and probably the other files that you've edited). How you do that is entirely dependent on the editor you're using.
