<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I have discovered the reason is that when I save my file with the php code and run it on my server it always inserts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Where my code sits in the source file.
Can anyone tell me of a means to avoid this occuring?
Cheers

What program are you using?
[webmasterworld.com...]
The problem in this case is not actually DW, DW saves the code exactly as I want it to (except when using templates, which I have decided not to use for php pages).
The problem is when the code is processed by my web server. It seems to be the web server that is inserting the superfluous code after processing the page.
But if you serve it up in a web browser then it does have <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>?
BTW, what type of server is it?
If it truly is a server issue then you need to talk to your web host about it.
