Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Turn Off ShortTags and \'<?xml will work. And after reading xml docs you will know why anywhere in a document \'?>\' will end php or any other xml processing instruction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-25 14:18:22] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com p.s.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1 currently, the workaround is: <?php echo'<'.'?'.'x'.'m'.'l vers'.'ion="1'.'.'.'0'.'" en'.'codi'.'ng="UT'.'F-8'.'"'.'?'.'>'."\n";?> Reproduce code: --------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Expected result: ---------------- [no error],rest of page Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25987&edit=1
