error on line 1 with <xml>

paul_2978

php had been bringing up an error on line 1 when i had ;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

...

when i removed the offending :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

All worked fine, can someone guide to me as to why this error occurs?

Thanks

Paul

try to use this:

<?php echo '<?'; ?>xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

You should change your php.ini settings to disable short open php tags. this directive would be switched OFF in the newer apache versions, and makes troubles if your're embed XML into your php code.
