Rather late as an answer @Theresa, but the php code should go at the very beginning of the document; so it gets loaded as early as possible and it won’t fail if the document starts outputting stuff.

In other words: the headers should be send by the php document before there is any actual output of the document (as if you read a book… the cover wraps the pages). Also, any php error that gets output to your browser window before a header is posted makes the header fail, because the webclient sees “output” and thinks that all headers allready have been send.

@Theresa: it seems you’re a beginner with PHP, so start reading http: / / www.php.net / manual / en / getting-started.php to get yourself a bit acquinted with it. More specific information on HTTP headers is on http: / / nl.php.net / manual / en / function.header.php

@Nico: shouldn’t you always serve an XHTML5-document as application / xhtml+xml, when the browser accepts that type?

This is kind of a silly question.. but I’m not very advanced in coding. Where would the PHP code go?
Thanks,
Theresa :]

[…] gives us many advantages. You can use the basic HTML5 elements like header, nav and footer in all browser at the moment. But there are more cool things like canvas, SVG or client side JavaScript […]

       document.createElement('article');
       document.createElement('section');
       document.createElement('footer');
     </script>
  </head>
  <body>

It looks great. I will play with it a little more!

hopefully the html5 draft is accepted soon and vrowsers adopt it ASAP…

I can’t understand what is taking so long… it should be the matter of 2 yrs max!
