Wordpress error unexpected T_VARIABLE in line 1 of functions.php

Question

I am facing this error ever since i wrote a function in functions.php . I even removed it and uploaded my backup file on to the server from the FTP.

It still shows the same error. People on WordPress forum do not know what exactly needs to be done.

Please help as it is on my clients live website.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/90/10424790/html/waytofabulous/wp-content/themes/custom/functions.php on line 1

First 10 lines of code :

  <?php

if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
    $content_width = 604;

require get_template_directory() . '/inc/custom-header.php';

if ( version_compare( $GLOBALS['wp_version'], '3.6-alpha', '<' ) )
    require get_template_directory() . '/inc/back-compat.php';
?>

There is no bug in my code as i can see it on my php editor..how do i paste the whole code? — user1411837

Please remove spaces before <?php tag

if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
    $content_width = 604;

require get_template_directory() . '/inc/custom-header.php';

if ( version_compare( $GLOBALS['wp_version'], '3.6-alpha', '<' ) )
    require get_template_directory() . '/inc/back-compat.php';
?>
