PHP and CSS (and XHTML)

I can't figure out how to create a web page which is XHTML and links to a CSS stylesheet with PHP. Here's what I tried:

<?php
?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <title>
      The Cool Titlel
    </title>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh"
    content="1; URL=index.php3">
  </head>
  <body>
<?php

// go on with the dynamic content, using styles in style.css and
// echoing strict XHTML syntax

This errors out at the <?xml bit.
I tried it also with all the XHTML header stuff in a $hrd_string using

Code: Select all

$hdr_string = <<<EOQ
.. all the xhtml header stuff
EOQ;

This also errors out.

Please help. How is this supposed to be done? Seems kinda clunky to start every index.php with

Code: Select all

<?php
// notes...
?>
<html>
<head>
...

Does PHP have a better construct for setting up the html page, linking external stylesheets etc?

Thanks in advance,
chewy

Wizard,

what does the suggestion you gave do?

Where is the problem in the code?

Are you saying this is the proper way to do this?

Thanks!

In this part of youre code:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> 
  <head> 
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> 
    <title> 
      The Cool Titlel 
    </title> 
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" 
    content="1; URL=index.php3"> 
  </head> 
  <body>

you not have a error, - all work.
Asi said before: you need change PHP.ini
Cause PHP try process this <? like php code but it's not php code :!:
It's simple redirect at index.php3
