I saved the php you included to a file, validated it by upload on
http://validator.w3.org/ and it passed as HTML 4.01 Strict.  How did
it fail for you?  Did the links to more information on the errors not
help?

[WSG] PHP validation problem

[Bob Schwartz]

I have a PHP file that fails validation.

The W3C validator claims that there are three divs missing their closing tag, 
or that perhaps there is something in the divs that the validator doesn't like.

I suspect the later as I did a "view source" and copied the code (minus the PHP 
code, in this case) to a new file, saved it as html and ran it through the 
validator and it passed.

Here's the code (minus a few meta tags to make it shorter) - maybe another set 
of eyes...:



http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>















ISBN 
'.$result_product['isbn_no']; }

$author = '';
if ($result_product['author_id'] != 0) {
$author = get_content('custom_authors','fname',$result_product['author_id']).' 
'.get_content('custom_authors','lname',$result_product['author_id']);
if (get_content('custom_authors','suffix',$result_product['author_id']) != '') 
{ $author .= ', 
'.get_content('custom_authors','suffix',$result_product['author_id']); }
}
if ($result_product['coauthor_id'] != 0) {
$author .= ' and 
'.get_content('custom_authors','fname',$result_product['coauthor_id']).' 
'.get_content('custom_authors','lname',$result_product['coauthor_id']);
if (get_content('custom_authors','suffix',$result_product['coauthor_id']) != 
'') { $author .= ', 
'.get_content('custom_authors','suffix',$result_product['coauthor_id']); }
}

$subtitle = '';
if ($result_product['subtitle'] != '') { $subtitle = 
':'.$result_product['subtitle']; }
$title = $result_product['title'].$subtitle;

echo '
'.$title.'
'.$edit_type.' '.$author.'


'.$result_product['content'].'
'.$result_product['description'].'
'.$isbn.'
';

}
?>
