You have an unmatched quote so I guess this is not the literal code your
are running. Make sure that the real code does not add bogus white-space
before of after the file. You can test that if you open the file in an
hexadecimal editor (though a regular editor may do the trick).

You can end up with a bogus byte if you've saved the PHP source as UTF-8
and your editor is configured to write the Unicode BOM (byte-order marker).
