How does Function contain space?

I have little strange behavior.

my div have spaces when i insert a function . forexample :

if i put this

   include ('header.php');
   $view->header_login();
   setlanguage();   // <--------this is my language function

i get space like that enter image description here

if i remove that function

   include ('header.php');
   $view->header_login();
   //setlanguage();

i get this enter image description here

Here is my function 

function setlanguage(){
   if(!isset($_SESSION['selectlang'])){$_SESSION['selectlang'] = 'English' ;}
   if(!isset($_GET['lang'])){$_GET['lang'] = 'english' ;}
   switch ($_GET['lang']){
   case "english" :
        $_SESSION['selectlang'] = 'English';
      include("lang/english.php");
      break;
   case "swedish" :
        $_SESSION['selectlang'] = 'Swedish';
       include("lang/swedish.php");
       break;
   case "russian":
        $_SESSION['selectlang'] = 'Russian';
       include("lang/russian.php");
     break;
   default :
        include("lang/english.php");
    }

   }

EDIT:

english.php

 <?php
 define("NEW_GOOD_NAME_CONSTANT", "I have a value");
 define("Free_website", "talking website");
 define("Home", "Home");
 ?>

In your english.php, there spaces after the closing ?>

?>          
  ^^^^^^^^^^

You don't need the closing ?>, so just drop it, the entire file would then look like:

 <?php
 define("NEW_GOOD_NAME_CONSTANT", "I have a value");
 define("Free_website", "talking website");
 define("Home", "Home");

You may also have an UTF-8 BOM (byte-order-mark) in your files, you can check this on a UNIX/Linux box with:

$ head -c3 sleep | hexdump -C
00000000  ef bb bf                                          |...|

If your output is similar to this (0xef 0xbb 0xbf), then there's a BOM present. The BOM is interpreted as whitespace by PHP.
On Windows, you'll need to use a HEX editor to check this.

Removing this depends on your editor, you should find a setting "save with BOM", or something to that effect, and disable it. This page also lists a number of methods to remove a BOM.

The same thing happened to me.

I found out that it has to do with the method of encoding when using Notepad++. UTF-8 without BOM seemed to work.

However, I found a workaround to it since I preferred UTF-8 and it should work:

<span style="display: none"><?php include ('header.php'); ?></span><?php
$view->header_login();
setlanguage();
