If I upload php files that are encoded in UTF-8, instead of ANSI, it creates problems with "headers already sent" on the server.

vi shows {feff} at the start and nano does not show the \ at the start. When I remove the {feff} manually in vi, it works fine. But after every new FTP upload, this is added again.

This also happens to .html and .ctp files, but so far never has been a problem.

  • Have you tried uploading your files using the binary transfer type instead of the ASCII one? – gekkz Sep 03 '12 at 14:39
  • Try uploading "good" files? ie files that don't begin with buggy characters (I saw some windows text editors who had bad behaviour). –  Sep 03 '12 at 14:46

Instruct your editor to save UTF-8 files without a BOM.

  • Thanks, that was it! I already used to use "UTF-8" in notepad++. I have set notepad++ to use UTF-8 without a BOM. – ujjain Sep 03 '12 at 14:49
