Gibberish Above Header

    My blog was working fine until this morning. I posted a comment and got an error message (which I didn’t record). From that point on, I began getting 8 lines of gibberish above the header. It eventually began crashing Firefox on my laptop — so far Firefox on my desktop can handle it.

    When I look at the source code for the page, all the gibberish characters begin at the top of the source and end right before this:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;
    <html xmlns=”https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”&gt;

    I checked all the php files referenced before the header. They all look okay.

    I made a brief examination of the content of my database. It looks okay, but I haven’t looked at the whole thing. Would like someone to point out what I SHOULD be looking at.

    I thought it might be the gravatar plugin, which I was playing with a bit this morning — fine tuning settings, etc. When I went to disable it, I got the following error message:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /Library/WebServer/Documents/marialanger/wp-content/plugins/srg_clean_archives.php:1) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/marialanger/wp-admin/plugins.php on line 22

    Then I went back to the plugins panel and noted that the plugin had been properly disabled.

    This is probably NOT a php problem because I have two WordPress blogs operating on the same server (with different MySQL databases) and the other one is working fine.

    My knowledge of MySQL is limited.

    Any idea what could be causing this? Suggestions for troubleshooting? I’d really appreciate the help.
