PHP Print puts false characters on a web page when printing starts (ï "¿)

Question

When I turn on some PHP on my page to fill in the HTML download, everything precedes the symbols ï "¿. It's probably something stupid, but it turns me on. I'm new to PHP, so please pay attention to children's gloves.

This is my inclusion statement <?php $PSName="Solar Numbers"; $whereto="bot"; include("../php/menu.inc.php");?>

and this is the code doing the damage

   print <<<END
<a href="$pgurl">
<div id="layer1" style="background: url('$picurl'); 
position: absolute; width: 150px; height: 41px; z-index: 1; color: #FFFFFF; font: caption;
left: 14px; top: $topstr;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bolder; text-decoration: none;
text-transform: capitalize; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; font-size: xx-small;">
<br>
<font size="+0">$pgnm</font>
</div>
</a>
END;

it is displayed several times in a loop in the program, and only the first time I get false characters.

help me please
