Strange symbos appear right after include()

[jlryan]

Hello guys,

I am having this problem. The symbol looks like the attachment. And it has nothing to do with the charset.
Anyone can help?

Yes it has to do with charset 🙂 You are saving your document as UTF-8 with bom(byte order mark). Save your document without bom. Atleast in Notepad++ you can choose that from the menu(if you use windows).

Hi cahva, thanks for the reply.

This is what I got:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" />

Anything wrong with that? And what is bom?

[cahva]

Ok, I meant that your text file's encoding is now UTF-8 with bom. If you use iso-8859-1 as your charset, you should save your file with ANSI encoding, not UTF-8. Search google or wiki for more information on UTF-8.
