In terms of (X)HTML, it isn't. The (X)HTML document that a validator, a
browser, or other user agent gets is the data that results from the
PHP processing of the above. That is, it has no <?php ...?> stuff but the
data that PHP substitutes for it.
Thus, if you include something with PHP, the included file need not and
must not contain a DOCTYPE declaration, unless the include directive
appears at the start of a document where such a declaration is allowed.
