Alright
I'm trying to get my website to pass on W3C. I can get it to pas as long as Iremov this section of code and when I put it back in it falls


<?php include("header.html"); ?><?php include("menubar.html"); ?><?php include("footer.html"); ?>


what do I have to do so that it will pass with the code


Top part of webpage
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

my web site uses
CSS
PHP
HTML

thank you

The PHP, in of itself is irrelevant. The validator will only look at what it recieves which, of course, shouldn't include any PHP.
If you could show us what the validator sees, we'd probably be able to tell you what's wrong.

You are including 3 independant documents that each have a doctype!
Have a doctype in the main document, but none (and no body and head tags) in the files to include

Surely that is self explanatory?
