Can I put PHP in the head of an HTML page, that is, between the head tags?
Someone told me you couldn't put ASP there and I'm having some trouble with doing it with PHP. I put a dummy PHP statement and it validated, but a more complex one didn't.
What are the rules?
Thanks

A PHP start tag does not show up here on this web page, at least in the preview
<?php

if (browser_is_mac () && browser_is_ie())
echo ("");
else
include ("includes/cssIncluded.inc");

</head>
this is a the top of a temporary page http://www.sbmbc.com/indexIncludeHeaderTemp.php
browser detect parses what the browser sends back so I can detect IE and give it no css since the css breaks IE Mac. the cssIncludes is the link rels for the css style sheets.

try this:
[php]
<?php
include ("includes/browserDetector.php");
if (browser_is_mac () && browser_is_ie()) {
echo ("");
}
else
{
readfile("includes/cssIncluded.inc");
}
?>
[/php]
include is used by php to get external functions, not to print out your stylesheet, you use readfile / fopen to do that 
--will

this works, too
[PHP]
<html>
<head>
<?
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE") && strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Mac_PowerPC")) {
echo "";
} else {
echo "<link href=browser.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css>";
}
?>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
[/PHP]

thanks, lots to learn.
However this doesn't validate if I use
include ("includes/browserDetector.php");
if (browser_is_mac () && browser_is_ie()) {
but does validate if I use the
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE") && strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Mac_PowerPC"))
I wanted to use the first on, because I was using the result again to put up a note on affected pages. But I can repeat the browserDetector.php and make it work.
thanks
Back in business.

if you don't want to repeat it, you can always do something like this....
[PHP]
<html>
<head>
<?
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE") && strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Mac_PowerPC")) {
$bcheck = 0;
} else {
$bcheck = 1;
echo "<link href=browser.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css>";
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<? if ($bcheck != 1) {
echo "Your browser is crap and won't show style sheets";
}
?>
<p>
rest of your page....
</body>
</html>
[/PHP]
you can also set up $bcheck as a session variable so you can use it across all of your pages without having to rerun the "if (strstr...." statement.
makes it a little simpler IMO....

ok, so i'm bored and have had too much coffee... i put the code together using sessions and it's not any simpler. you still have to run an 'if' statement on the subsequent pages...
but if anyone is interested, here's what i came up with...
index.php
[php]
<?
session_start();
session_register("SESSION_BCHECK");
?>
<html>
<head>
<?
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE") && strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Mac_PowerPC")) {
$SESSION_BCHECK = 0;
} else {
$SESSION_BCHECK = 1;
echo "<link href=browser.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css>";
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<? if ($SESSION_BCHECK != 1) {
echo "Your browser is crap and won't show style sheets";
}
?>
<p>
rest of your page...
<br>
<a href="page2.php" class="link">go</a>
</body>
</html>
[/php]
then...
page2.php
[php]
<?
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<? if ($SESSION_BCHECK != 1) {
echo "";
} else {
echo "<link href=browser.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css>";
}
?>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
[/php]
and now that i think about it, people won't get the browser check this way if they go directly to page2, skipping the index.... so i guess this post was really just a bunch of rubbish...
