I saved both scripts with ANSI in stead of UTF-8 and the problem is gone.
So the utf-8 BOM character (Byte Order Mark) caused it.
Unfortunately my editor has no option to store BOM-free scripts.
Is it standard that PHP scripts should be saved without a BOM character ?
This is not a PHP matter, unless PHP 6 (which will have
Unicode support) does something with it. PHP 5 just outputs
it as is.
A BOM character is supposed to be the *first* character in
a text stream. Otherwise it should be treated as a
ZERO WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE.

Test results ...
If "test.php" (utf8) requires "echo.php" (utf8), page source has
"C�testD",
size 9
If "test.php" (ansi) requires "echo.php" (utf8), page source has
"CtestD", size 7
If "test.php" (ansi) requires "echo.php" (ansi), page source has
"CtestD",
size 6
The reason for asking is that sometimes "" is displayed on some pages.
That means you've used a utf-8 BOM in a page using an 8-bit
character encoding (eg. iso-8859-1 or similar), or that you
have utf-8 encoded it twice.
/Nisse
I've tested it again, from scratch with Notepad editor:
echoUTF8.php <?php require("echoUTF8sub.php"); ?>
echoUTF8sub.php <?php echo "test"; ?>
and keep getting strange characters.
Would you be so kind to run these 2 scripts on your pc ?
TIA, Cor
