PHP page adding extra info from unknown source

Question

I've converting my website to PHP from just static HTML. In the process, my PHP Index file is pulling old information from an unknown source (I've deleted all my old files).

Here is the specific problem. When I add a paragraph tag to my div id="main" section, I get "Get the Management Certification you need to make the next step in your career!" which isn't in my PHP file. When I inspect in Google Chrome, this is some how appears there

==$0 "Get the Management Certification you need to make the next step in your career! "

Does ==$0 mean something? Where could this be coming from?

Here is the actual file:

<?php
    $day = date('l'); 
    $time = date('H:i');
    $hour = date('H');

?>

Does this happen when you test the page in other browsers? Do you have any add-ons installed in your Chrome? Also, you have no divs with the ID of "main" in the code you posted. Class yes, ID no. — j08691, May 23 '18 at 19:40
I don't have any add ons. When I tested the webpage in IE, I get the same results on the page. I'm lost on how a
element automatically pulls an old
element I had there in the past? — Vince, May 23 '18 at 19:52
I have. I even called "GoDaddy," which is my webhosting 3 times on this. Not one person can explain it. I want to say this is a glitch somewhere on their server... — Vince, May 23 '18 at 19:54
One other weird event which may have a clue.... the
element I've added gets replaced by what was there prior. — Vince, May 23 '18 at 19:58
I tried a couple of things. I moved that
element within that div and I get the same error. If I copy and paste that
element to another div, I get what's actually in that
element. — Vince, May 23 '18 at 20:01

I think that may be it. I'll have to test that when I get back to my office — Vince, May 23 '18 at 20:27
So I looked at all my files on GoDaddy. I only have one index file. Another weird thing is when I click on the "home" button, the Index page works like it's supposed to..... it's as if it's two separate files, but I know it's not??? — Vince, May 23 '18 at 21:19
When I delete the entire head section from the file, it works fine. I've deleted each line individually within the head section and I couldn't get a change. This has to be the weirdest error I've come across because I can't make sense out of it. — Vince, May 24 '18 at 14:33

I can't explain why this works, but my best guess is GoDaddy is somewhere caching my old file in an unknown location. I changed a div class from main to blank and it stopped pulling from an old file somewhere.

<?php
    $day = date('l'); 
    $time = date('H:i');
    $hour = date('H');

?>
