Drupal Ubercart White Screen of Death Problem

I nearly went insane trying to solve a problem where adding to cart or doing anything in the cart caused the dreaded White Screen of Death or WSOD. I tried increasing memory limit, checking error logs, to no avail. I narrowed the problem down to the theme I had developed, as Garland didn’t cause the same problem. For me the solution was super simple. I was editing my theme’s template.php file in notepad and just saving as the default UTF-8 format. Once I saved as ANSI and uploaded the file, no more WSOD. I have found this to solve a few other problems in other systems as well. Always remember to try this before all the more complex solutions.
