Thanks Paul & Nisse,
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 ?
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.
Regards, Cor

With IE and Firefox it shows: CtestD
but when I view the source, it seems to be: C�testD
When debugging it, it seems that:
"CtestD" has length 9 in stead of 6
pos1 has char=C ord=67
pos2 has char=� ord=239
pos3 has char=� ord=187
pos4 has char=� ord=191
rest okay ...
Any idea what's causing this and how to solve it ?
echo.php has a utf-8 BOM character (Byte Order Mark).
See if your editor has an option to store it without a BOM.
