XML/PHP help

[eaglelegend]

Hi, I thought I would try getting the xml/xhtml correct on my site by temporary nameing the files ".xml" instead of ".php" its helped me solve a few problems so far, just the last one...

 

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: /index.xml
Line Number 64, Column 3:?>
--^

 

heres the index.php

<?php
include("header.xml");

print "<h1>Welcome to Eagle Legend!</h1><br />
Welcome to Eagle Legend, incase you havent noticed, the site is starting to look better every day!, I have opend the network for basically "people like me!" who like to program, but anyone can suggest things in the forums!<br /><br />

		$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE `username`='{$_SESSION['ELv2']}' AND `site`=\"$Z\"");
		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
		 	$username = $row["username"];
		}
print "<a href=\"http://www.omgspider.com/in.php?game_id=127&username=$username\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/Murzim/omgspider/vote_button.gif\" border=\"0\" title=\"Vote!\" alt=\"Vote!\"></a></h1>";
print "<h2>4 Newest Adoptions</h2>";
    
    <table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"350\">
  <tr>

    $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `pets` ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 4");
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
     	extract($row);
     	$x=$x+1;
     	
     			if($status <= 3) {
			 	$s = "Very Unhappy";
			}
			if($status >= 3 && $status < 6) {
			 	$s = "Unhappy";
			}
			if($status >= 6 && $status < 9) {
			 	$s = "Bored";
			}
			if($status >= 9 && $status < 12) {
			 	$s = "Happy";
			}
			if($status >= 12 && $status < 15) {
			 	$s = "Very Happy";
			}
			if($status >= 15) {
			 	$s = "Very Happy and Playful!";
			}
	  
 	print "<td width='33%' valign='top'>
 	<table border='0' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='0' width='350'>
 	 <tr>
 	  <td valign='middle' align='center'><img src='http://images.eaglelegend.com/pets/$species.png' alt='$petName the $species' title='$petName the $species' /></td>
 	  <td valign='top' class='other' width='350'>$user adopted a $species<br />
	   Name: $petName<br />
          Status: $s<br />
          Born: $date<br />
          Points: $points</td>
 	 </tr>
 	</table>
 	</td>";

	if($x%2==0) {
	 	print "</tr><tr>";
	} 

   }

   print "</table>";
   
include("footer.xml");
?>

 

Should I now change it back to .php?, does that mean it is ok now, or?...

If they are named XML, they won't parse the PHP. Instead use the w3 validator:

http://validator.w3.org/

[eaglelegend]

I just asked the w3 validator and it said the same!, ok, would it be the same is I named it ".xhtml"?

You're going down the wrong path-- xhtml is about using a prescribed set of tags in a standard way, not about naming your files .xml.
