regex - the string "php" is being printed at the top of my web app -

this 1 proving difficult google, thought ask here.

i have laravel 4.2 app of output prefaced string "php"

it present in every view. if following:

route::get('test', function(){     return 1; } 

then in output, this:

php 1

in mind, eliminates string being in view file somewhere since no view file used (someone please correct me if assumption incorrect).

i'm @ loss here. showing both locally , in production. i've tried using grep , regular expressions locate stray string, i'm returning way many results (as can imagine).

any suggestions on how find , fix appreciated.

i imagine 1 of php tags doesn't have

<? 

in front of it.
