Is this the right doctype for php xhtml pages

<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<?php  echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>"; ?>
<!-- XHTML DOCTYPE HERE -->

Looks good from where I'm sitting, but you should check with these guys. There is a template at the bottom of that page where they add attribute for 'lang' in the html element:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

burtware

You shouldn't use the XML declaration at the top.

It will give you a WORLD OF PAIN on certain browsers / platforms.

See these guys for more details.
