Remove the ?> at the end of that file.

Here you can find more information on why you shouldn't close the php tags on those files.

Why would one omit the close tag?

Looked at the original file sent by the user. Basically there was a hidden character in the file. Created a new database.php with original encoding and everything worked fine.

I had already removed it before and nonetheless continued with the error – Pedro HB Nov 28 '18 at 19:14
can you post the entire file? – marcogmonteiro Nov 28 '18 at 19:15
Yes, but the site does not allow you to post a code with many lines – Pedro HB Nov 28 '18 at 19:16
@PedroHB Link me to a pastebin with the entire file as a comment here – marcogmonteiro Nov 28 '18 at 19:17
@PedroHB There's no problems with that code. Is the error still the same? – marcogmonteiro Nov 28 '18 at 19:19
@PedroHB can you also link me the index.php file (first one on your app) and the application\views\errors\html\error_404.php file too? – marcogmonteiro Nov 28 '18 at 19:24
Remove the first 8 lines of code from your 404 file. The 404 file shouldn't use the ci instance. You might need to workaround the use of that url helper there too. – marcogmonteiro Nov 28 '18 at 19:29
@PedroHB tested your database.php file in a local ci install and it works fine. Must be something happening right after that file is loaded. Is there any way I can look into the project itself that's the only way I might be able to help here. Otherwise I think I'm out of options – marcogmonteiro Nov 28 '18 at 19:42
do you have Facebook ? – Pedro HB Nov 28 '18 at 19:49
