The Content-Type field is sent by your web server (or web browser if you use the file upload interface) and depends on its configuration. Commonly, web servers will have a mapping of filename extensions (such as ".html") to MIME Content-Type values (such as text/html). That you received this message can mean that your server is not configured correctly, that your file does not have the correct filename extension, or that you are attempting to validate a file type that we do not support yet. However, If I JUST rename the file to .html it passes validation. What could be the problem? Thanks 6902 1 link 2005-10-25 20:10:23 +0000 Your web server or your PHP code is broken. It's claiming the output of your PHP is arbitrary binary data ("application/octet-stream") instead of HTML ("text/html") as it should. Take a look at http://php.net/header or ask on some PHP related forum for help with fixing this. In either case, this is not a Validator bug. 6908 2 bsaliba 2005-10-25 23:06:59 +0000 Hi, This is the header of my php file; <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">  <head> <title>Administrator Registration Form Validation</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/> Content is set to text/html as you can see. 6909 3 bjoern 2005-10-25 23:11:16 +0000 The <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" ... is not relevant here. Also, it sounds like you are using the file upload validation rather than by web address, in this case your browser determines the Content-Type it reports to the web server when uploading the file. It probably does not recognize .php files and uses some default content type. In this case it might be difficult for you to use the file upload feature with your PHP code. 6910 4 ot 2005-10-25 23:16:20 +0000 If you are using the file upload interface, try to rename your files with extensions .html, this will probably help your browser send proper content-type information with the upload. If you are using the "by URL" interface, follow the instructions in Comment #1.
