WhitFarnum Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I am encountering a problem with Dreamweaver and PHP. The attached example is a simplification of the problem I have a php header with the following code: <!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><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body><table><tr><td> This is my header </td></tr></table></body></html> I then reference this in a main page using the following code: <!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><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body><p>more text goes here</p><p><?php include('whit_head.php');?></p><?php echo('test value');?></body></html> I encounter the following problems. The errors are illustrated in the attached document. The title of the whit_header.php file is some how imported leading to the "Untitled Document </head>" occurring above "This is my header". The php is also being displayed which is odd since "Live view" is not enabled. The set up I am using has worked on previous websites but now it is giving this error. I have no idea what is causing this and I will appreciate any help. Thank you.

fastsol Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 If this is the entire content of whit_head.php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR...nsitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <table><tr><td> This is my header </td></tr></table> </body> </html> You need to get rid of everything besides what inside the body tags. You're basically putting another <head> and <html> and body tags in side the file rather than just the html that needs to be included. From what it looks like, you results would be like this <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR...nsitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <p>more text goes here</p> <p> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR...nsitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <table><tr><td> This is my header </td></tr></table> </body> </html> </p> <?php echo('test value');?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280212-tag-closure-false-positive-error/#findComment-1440950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Your whit_head.php file should not contain anything other than <table><tr><td> This is my header </td></tr></table>No doctype, no <html>, no <head>, etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280212-tag-closure-false-positive-error/#findComment-1440953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitFarnum Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thank you for your repsonses. I will give this a try. I have a follow up questions. If the header is failing because of the <html><body> and other tags why have previous pages I have built with these included worked fine? Is this error a result of Dreamweaver or the other pages just wierd in some way. They follow the same pattern I posted above.

fastsol Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Browsers will still render the page with the added tags but it's not correct in any way. It's probably Dreamweaver seeing the double tags.
