hi,

I followed the instructions at
http://validator.w3.org/docs/install_win.html ("Installing the
W3C-Validator on a Apache under Windows") and it works perfectly. I can
locally validate HTML pages without an internet connection.

Unfortunately, I recently changed my website to make it all PHP, so
that I can include standard headers and footers, etc for menus, hit
counters and the like, so have index.php everywhere and not index.html
any longer.

When I try to validate such a page offline, I get a "No DOCTYPE found!"
error, because the doctype is declared in an included PHP file.

The page validates perfectly online, but not offline, which makes it
somewhat obvious that my locally installed PHP is not being invoked.

Does anyone have any idea how I should configure this?

Thanks a 1,000,000 in advance.

btw, I followed "How to Install and Configure PHP4 to Run with Apache
on Windows" at http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/php4install.shtml

but that isn't helping :-( I am guessing that it is an Apache config
problem (and, yes, I did restart Apache)

What is important is the markup being served to the end user, not the PHP
program code that generates that markup. It is the output markup that needs
to be validated, not the PHP script.

Thanks, David,

I realised that. My problem, however, is that I need to force the PHP
to be executed in order to generate what is served up to the end user.

At first I thought to post to this group in case anyone else had
attempted the same exercise, but nwo I am thinking that I really need
to post to an Apache group, with respect to gettting the PHP runnnig.

All feedback gratefully received, though ...

You access it through a webserver.

Yes.
