Oh PHP itself isn't to blame at all, and I never intended to infer that. If you point the W3C validator at www.foxjet.com you will get a clean rating and that page is generated via PHP. Someone mentioned that they got errors in Netscape and I was just pointing out that for some reason the people who built www.php.net didn't make the page W3C compliant.
