semtex Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm using the xhtml strict doctype:[code]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> [/code]As I'm making a database driven website with PHP and MySQL, there's often special characters appearing in my XHTML that are not validating. I'm thinking of a character like "&" (should be "&")What's the best way to solve this? I mean I can't use php's htmlentities() function on every echoed text, can I?
