I can test if a page is being validated by the W3C, and alter the MIME type accordingly (see below; pardon the line breaks). But that's stupid. I infer, however, that there is no other way to get the validator to see the web page as application/xhtml+xml and not break the page in ie6. Am I missing something? <?php if ((isset($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"]) and stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"], "application/xhtml+xml")) or stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "W3C_Validator") ) { header("Content-type: application/xhtml+xml"); print("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n"); } else { header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); } ?>
