Description Karl O. Pinc 2002-04-22 04:56:45 UTC 
Description of Problem:

A well formed xhtml page generated with php results in a parse error.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
php-4.0.6-15


How Reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
Make a well formed xhtml php page (say index.php) beginning with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>

2. 

Try to retreive the page
3. 

Note the <?xml... causes a parse error.


Additional Information:

Turning off short_open_tags in /etc/php.ini fixes the problem.
This should be the default so people can use the new w3 standards
"out of the box."  Current users of short tags are going to have
to deal with the problem when they migrate to xhtml, the rest of
us shouldn't have to suffer, and new users should be discouraged
from using short tags.

Bad news,..
too late.

This will have to be an errata item

Now if only you'd been 10 days earlier,...
