Strange characters on top mainpage

Hi all,

I've got strange characters which suddenly appears on the top of my main page ( - http://new.madroguerie.com/index.php?main_page=).

I'm a newbie with zencart and I can't find in which file this 3 strange characters could be !??

Thanks a lot for your advise,

Cheers,

Bill

Super tool cobra, the tool find out the two files with the strange characters,

/home/www/new-madroguerie.com/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php

Line #0 : <?php

/home/www/new-madroguerie.com/includes/languages/french/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php

Line #0 : <?php

but when I open the two files (logo_sidebox_defines.php which is an extension which enable to publish a sidebox with an image), no "", strange isn't it ?

but when I open the two files
What are you using as an editor??

Check that there is not a leading line or space before the opening
"?php "

Thanks Cobra I'm Using dreamweaver and ultra edit, but there is is not a leading line or space before php, really strange...

Things sometimes go wrong with FTP. Delete the following files, one at a time, and re-upload.

/home/www/new-madroguerie.com/index.php
/home/www/new-madroguerie.com/includes/languages/english.php
/home/www/new-madroguerie.com/includes/languages/english/index.php
/home/www/new-madroguerie.com/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php

Check the site after each delete / re-upload, odds are it's one of the above files.

Thanks Cobra
That is Kobra

I'm Using dreamweaver and ultra edit
NEVER use dreamweaver to edit php files or as your FTP -
It is not reliable

Thanks to all,

I solved my problem just by uploading the file from the original package.

cheers,

Bill
