What type of DOC type

    I've read and read, but am still very confused what type of doc type I should be putting for my various websites.

    They are .php mainly with html content and using the php include command for menus which pulls in a menu.html

    What type should I use?

    Also for a purely Spanish site, do I need to specify somewhere in a meta or other for SE's to know it is in Spanish?

    Thanks Ian

    What are you using - HTML or XHTML?

    For HTML Transitional DTD:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    Code (markup):
    For HTML Strict DTD:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    Code (markup):
    For HTML Frames:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
    Code (markup):
    For XHTML Transitional DTD:
    <!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    Code (markup):
    For XHTML Strict DTD:
    <!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    Code (markup):
    For XHTML Frames:
    <!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
    Code (markup):
    Remember, it is the way that the PHP is parsed on the server actually. And using the proper DOCTYPE will also help you when using CSS
