Wtf is that mess? Why are you using PHP to output that?

[dagon]

since there is no php in there simply removing:

<?php
echo '

and

';
?>

is all you need

[exocet]

it's the footer that is used on each page of our site.

footer.php

Thus carried across the whole site, with different content, headers, and sidebars. Will try removing that code and report back.

super... thanks - that worked. It screwed up my font, but I can handle that...

Remember, just because the file ends with .php does not necessarily mean you need php tags in the file.
