Hey!

I'm in the middle of building my website which i'm trying to make standards compliant which i have check on w3 validator and it checks out as valid xhtml transitional 1.0, but the only problem is i have to have a php include for my news to be dynamically diplayed onto the website so have to put it to index.php and obviously the parser is throwing up errors everywhere because of it...

what do i have to do so it validates properly...

Does it have to be like shtml or something

Regards,
Martin

No, XHTML and PHP work together. Make sure your includes are like this,

<?php include('news.php'); ?>

and you shouldn't have any problems.

I think the validator doesn't like something in your include. Check to make sure the code in your include is valid as well. Plus the validator hates some of the url's included in these types of files also.

I agree. It's not the php that's throwing the problems. In fact the validator never sees your php. It only sees the xhtml the php parser puts out.

The issue has to be in whatever files you're including.
