PHP GD generating image with an extra 20(hex) in the file - php

Question

Using PHP GD library to generate a PNG image, everything seems working perfectly fine, no errors.
But the browser just cannot render my Image.
I downloaded the generated PNG and compare it with normal PNGs in Ultraedit, I found there is an extra 20 (in Hex mode) in the beginning of the file. After I remove the 20 from ultraedit, the PNG works fine.
I've check through my code, and I cannot find any line that gives a 0x20.
Relative Part of Code as follow:
public function imggen($string = "Enter your own lyric.",
