This page takes an asset id from $_GET of the url and displays some info about the asset after querying a mysql database.
When I view the page in my browser there is an unwanted "" character within the page and I have no idea why.
I've commented where it appears. It appears before the < table create tag right afterward. The < table tag was originally outside the php script section but I threw it in to see if it made a difference. It did not. Thank you all.
I am viewing the page in Firefox. The web server is running on an Ubuntu Server 10.04 virtual machine on my laptop.
