[WSG] Re: PHP and XHTML 1.0 Strict

[east]

There is an issue with session generation through a web form and validation. 
Automatically creating a session that is to be passed through a POST creates 
a hidden input field directly after the first form tag.  Since in XHTML, a 
<form> requires that a block level element (like fieldset) enclose it's 
content, the auto session id creation violates this, and your page won't 
validate. 

Here's how to fix it: http://martin.f2o.org/php/session

Mmm, interesting.The validator can't see the php, I know, but pull the 
php off the page and it validates as strict, while put it on the page and 
it doesn't! Cut and paste the code off the page for yourself into a blank 
page and run it, you'll see it validates perfectly. Its the processing of 
the form that is triggering problem.
The PHP portion of the document gets replaced with whatever you program 
the output to be. If that output is causing the page to be invalid, it's 
the programmer's fault, not PHP's.
