Lately, I've been experimenting with running my code through html tidy, or validating it with the w3.org validator ( http://validator.w3.org ).
It looks like php by default cranks out XHTML code; the <BR> tags are really printed as <BR />, and so forth. Some developer must have made a choice to make those <BR /> tags XHTML compliant.
This made me wonder about the PHP community in general: are the rest of you validating your code? Are you using stylesheets and <div> tags instead of table-based layouts?
