UTF-8 problem with 2.3.0

Hello,
I'm using 2.3.0 and when I create a new module, if I create a php file in this module in UTF-8 format, then I get following warning messages, when running that script:

Quote:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /modules/link/new.php:1) in file /include/common.php line 255
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /modules/link/new.php:1) in file /kernel/session.php line 276


And I get some garbage character at the begining of screen like: 

If I use ASCII encoding in php files, I hadn't this problem. Should I use ASCII or UTF-8 encoding while creating php files? But if I create them in ASCII then I have another problem: Turkish characters aren't shown correct.

PS: I installed XOOPS with UTF-8 encoding.

Thanks

hey mate do you use ajax in your site?is globals.php set to correct encoding? I have some problems with my module using ajax it doesnt show the characters (I used to have that kind of error though!I dont remember what exactly i did to fix it...:() but it gives me a white margin on top of the page if i set the character encoding of globals.php to utf!

all encodings in global.php are UTF-8

I don't use ajax

By the way I get same white margin or one line at the top of the page.
I switched back to 2.0.18.2

i really can't get to the root of this one! it's a utf encoding problem for sure! But it's only there in my module! when visiting other modules of my site with utf encoded language files its gone! I though it was an ajax problem of some kind...till now...

as far as I understand, if one of php files encoded UTF-8 inside XOOPS using current page, than this problem occurs (at least to me)

So if I make a language file for Turkish using UTF-8, if this language file will be used for one web page, than that page will have this problem. I open another web page that doesn't use this language file, no problem.

Seems that your editor adds a BOM to your UTF-8 file.

what is a BOM?
I'm using UltaEdit 14.00a.
How can I configure it not to add BOM?
thanks
