XHTML in .php Files

dimo414 · February 16th, 2006, 04:12 AM

I've recently tried to convert my website (which is almost entirely .php files) and when I change it, the page fails to load. I create a .html page with the same content (php commands removed, obviously) and the page loads perfectly, and validly.

I assume this is something to do with PHP, and/or php files; or the calling of php commands <?php 'script' ?> in a file declared to be xml, but how to fix that?. Is there any way to run xhtml in php (or vice versa? What do I have to do?

I'm not sure what forum this would go under, so I apologise if I got it wrong...

No one's ever tried running php in xhtml?

PHP has nothing to do with X/HTML except that it can be output-ed by PHP. PHP files always've extension .php

This is the basic code for an xhtml page, according to the w3c:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Virtual Library</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Moved to <a href="http://example.org/">example.org</a>.</p>
  </body>
</html>

But when I insert a php command, such as echo:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Virtual Library</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Moved to <a href="http://example.org/">example.org</a>.</p>
    <?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
  </body>
</html>

The document fails to load.

PHP has problem in line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I changed it to:
<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"; ?>

Actually tags of both PHP and XML are same.
