Weird Characters

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

When dealing with a company's software, it is best to ask their support forum for the best results.

looks kinda like compressed output. Check the compressor it's using.. maybe you accidentally echo'd out data when it needed to go through the compressor, thus creating an error'd buffer for the browser to read.. This happens here, because we use gzip compressed output.. so if I had added some debugging code that echo's.. I get a bunch of binary "garbage" after my debug text.
