Funky symbols?

[docopharm]

Since I can't use the RSS feed in vBadvanced that I wanted to b/c my host won't allow a CHMOD 777, I went to a site that writes the PHP code for the feed of your choice. I added a module using that code, cleaned the file and saved. Works well except for some "junk" on top of the module when it's displayed. Here's a screen shot of what it is:



And here is the php code:

<? readfile('http://www.rss-info.com/rss2.php?integration=php&windowopen=1&rss=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ama-assn.org%2Famednews%2Fnewsfeed%2Fhealth.rss&number=5&width=225&ifbgcol=FFFFFF&bordercol=FFFFFF&textbgcol=FFFFFF&rssbgcol=FFFFFF&showrsstitle=1&showtext=1'); ?>

yeah, I'm on dreamhost and sometimes I'll see symbols like that in the shoutbox for about 5 seconds then it disappears. Or I'll see it at the top left corner and I'll have to refresh the page.
