Unwanted double quotes in php file.

Hi,
A quick question here. I am not sure if it is related to PHP though. I am working on a simple site and all my code (HTML, CSS, PHP) looks ok to me. However, somehow two empty spaces (about 20px) were added to the layout and I cannot get rid of them now. Here is the site I am talking about:
http://www.configureweb.com/ If you check it with Google Chrome, you will notice one empty space just above the site title, and another empty space just above the footer. When you use the "inspect element" feature of Chrome, you will see two double quotes causing this.
Any idea how to get rid of them?
Thanks,

I don't see the quotes you are talking about in the source, but you just need to delete them from the script.

Jacek, they are not visible in the source and I checked my scripts (which are extremely simple) many times and couldn't find any problem. If you have Google Chrome, when you right click and select "Inspect element", you will see the double quotes.

Good idea
index.php:
<?php include 'adm/inc/header.php'; ?>
<div id="main">
<?php
$result = mysqli_query($db, 'SELECT post_title, post_date, post_body FROM posts ORDER BY post_id DESC');
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
$posts[] = array('title' => $row['post_title'], 'date' => $row['post_date'], 'body' => $row['post_body']);
}
foreach ($posts as $post):
echo '<h1>' . $post['title'] . '</h1>';
echo '<div id="postmeta">Posted by <strong>Nail</strong> on ' . $post['date'] . '</div>';
echo $post['body'];
endforeach;
?>
</div>
<?php include 'adm/inc/footer.php'; ?>
header.php:
<?php include 'adm/inc/db.php'; ?>

The page looks fine in chrome for me
Try making your html valid, that is the cause of most browser issues.
