    Without your source, or a link to it, we can only guess. My first guess would be there is a conflict between character sets.

    Post a link, and we can now for sure.

    cheers,

    Gary is correct. You need to change your character encoding to Western ISO Latin 1. You can also copy all of your code, paste it into a plain text editor (such as Notepad, if you're on Windows or TextEdit [set to plain text mode] if you're on a Mac), and then paste it into the validator. I experienced loads of problems when I had the encoding on my PHP files wrong..
