Your PHP tags don't necessarily have to be valid XML in order for them to
generate XHTML, unless you plan on running a validation on your php file,
and not the output that it generates.

Hi all,

I'm just getting better acquainted with PHP and running through the
docs. I first noted that the manual says you can use ASP style tags
"<% %>" which I liked since my editor is set up for them
automatically (no big deal to change it though.) Then I read:

"The first way, <?php. . .?>, is the preferred method, as it allows
the use of PHP in XML-conformant code such as XHTML."

Does this mean you must do <?php evertime or it won't validate - the
manual doesn't seem to go into detail about it.

Tom
