end tag for element "HEAD"

Hi,

Why I am getting this warning when validating my PHP page:

end tag for element "HEAD" which is not open [HTML 4.0 Transitional]

here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en-us">
<head dir="ltr" lang="en-us">
<title>Services - RMC</title>
<?php include("tags.php"); ?>
<meta name="description" content="List of Services we provide" />
</head>
<body dir="ltr" lang="en-us">

Hi,

Why I am getting this warning when validating my PHP page:

document type does not allow element "BODY" here [HTML 4.0 Transitional]

here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en-us">
<head dir="ltr" lang="en-us">
<title>Services - RMC</title>
<?php include("tags.php"); ?>
<meta name="description" content="List of Services we provide" />
</head>
<body dir="ltr" lang="en-us">

My first guess would be something in the included tags.php file outputting invalid HTML, such as an unclosed quote or tag.

What does the actual rendered output look like (since that's all that validators can see, of course)?

Also note that /> is NOT valid HTML code (see the meta element)
