Hi. I'm probably missing something simple here, but a few weeks ago, my Cake app seemed to spontaneously start outputting the hex values "EF BB BF" at the beginning of all its pages. Static files such as CSS files, and non-Cake PHP files in /app/webroot, don't do this. It's just files generated with CakePHP.
This is causing me some grief as it means the XLS writer has stopped working, because OpenOffice.org (and presumably Excel) really doesn't like seeing EF BB BF at the beginning of a file. After looking into this, I've discovered that the string in question is the UTF-8 byte-order mark, as explained in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark . I can't remember what I must have done to get CakePHP to start outputting this string, but I need to get it to stop. I'm guessing there's something simple that I can set, but I can't work out what it is. The only place I thought I mentioned UTF-8 is the HTML metadata, which the XLS generator obviously isn't outputting. Any ideas, anyone?
