The plugin has generated 2 unexpected output characters during activation

Time:03-21

I'm trying to make my first widget/plugin, the plugin works well, but, after the activation it sends me this error:

"The plugin has generated 2 unexpected output characters during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, issues with syndication feeds, or other problems, try disabling or removing this plugin."

Then, when I enter to the site it sends me this other error:

"Content encoding error

The page you are trying to view cannot be displayed because it uses an invalid or unsupported compression format."

After that, if I refresh the page, it let my enter normally, but, the same issue is repeated every time I enter to a different page.

I don't understand what's happen, so I will appreciate your help to solve this.

This is the code:

<?php

CodePudding user response:

Remove the closing and re-opening PHP tags between the plugin information and the class declaration.:

?>

<?php

That code is essentially emitted white space which is where your extra characters are coming from.
