you well need to go threw all your files and look for that tag it well be before the opening tag <html>
maybe in config or functions it may take a little hunting to find it and if you don't it well in time cause a problem

Done that, think it might have something to do with DEFINE('_ISO','charset=iso-8859-1');

Been though the code and change all those to DEFINE('_ISO','charset=UTF-8');

still getting the error...

it is going to be a free standing text not part of the codelook at the top and bottom of your pages right before <?

Thats encoding when you saved the file - its called the bom mark or something - happens with utf-8 im sure - i would check what char set you used when saving it - dreamweaver has a function it that will clearly show this mark that you cant see visually - @joeroberts .. you wont see it unless you set dreamweaver or similiar to show it

what do you use to edit your files??
you should try and always use a proper editor if you are not experienced with php
as staed above dreamweaver is the perfict editor for this!!!!

Dreamweaver, and fixed.

added,

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

yep, if re-defining the charset isn't working for you, maybe you are using a text editor that is saving files in UTF-8 with the BOM, when it should be saving without the BOM, so maybe check your text editor or try another one.

ahh you fixed it, glad to hear :)
