[Phpwebsite-developers] DOCTYPE and server side charset for themes

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Everyone,
I'm not sure how useful you'll find this, but here it is anyway. This
sets the doctype and server side charset. The <meta content-type set by
layout is redundant with this setup. This solution should work with
Mozilla and IE. Feedback is appreciated.

Don,
Thank you for helping me with the php code. :-)

mod/layout/conf/config.php
     define("ALLOW_THEME_PHP_INSERTION", TRUE);

theme.php
<?php
if(stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"],"application/xhtml+xml")){
header("Content-Ty
pe: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8");
   $THEME["DOCTYPE"] = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN\"
    \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd\">";
} else { header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
   $THEME["DOCTYPE"] = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN
\"
   \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">";
}
?>

theme.tpl -- first line must be
{DOCTYPE}
