In our last episode,
<qLmdnbMArce17AnenZ2dnUVZ_tidnZ2d@comcast.com>,
the lovely and talented Khai
broadcast on comp.lang.php:

><br>.
There are tidy functions in php, but if you are not invoking
them, I don't see how they would affect things. I suspect that
tidy is being run externally on your output. Before looking
any deeper in php, be sure your doctype declares xhtml and try
using a .tidyrc with an xhtml doctype option.
> Even if it's written outside <?php ?>, or echo from inside, it still puts
><br> instead of just <br />.
Just echoing or printing tags should not do anything with php's
tidy functions, which seem to be some kind of object-oriented
crap.

See if this happens in documents generated by php cli. I bet it
doesn't. If it doesn't, there is some kind of post processing
going on. If it is nice, it should get the right answer if you
provide the right doctype and/or .tidyrc .
