I tried removing completely the content of the template, it's still there. I tried removing line after line the content of the php file, it's still there. The only way to have it gone is to remove the whole content of the php file between <?php and ?>

@Cellarius : it's Notepad++ I meant, of course ^^

Thanks for your answers anyway

Edit : I just tried to use a hook instead of an external php file, following the method of Cellarius

$templater = vB_Template::create('my_own_template');
$templater->register_page_templates(); 
print_output($templater->render());

and there are no more extra characters.
