 * I’ve read other posts about removing whitespace from the referenced file, but
   I didn’t find any whitespace that could be the culprit. This is on a fresh install
   of 3.6.1.

 * We can’t see whitespace on a copy/paste of code – and that’s really too long 
   to post here.
 * What is the error you see?

 * And is this in relation to a plugin or a theme?

 * Ok, so I removed the “<style…” section i had at the beginning of the file because
   the link above says the file needs to start with <?php. Now it’s working.
 * What’s the best way to include the styling in that file now?

 * CSS should generally be in a .css file – it’s not meant to go in a .php file.

 * Ok, so how do I relate the css file with he php file? If I include it do I just
   echo the style tags?

 * If you are trying to add CSS to your site, I’d suggest using a custom CSS plugin.
 * If you want to add whole file, see:

 * Got it, I just registered and en-queued the stylesheet.
