php validator

[dami06]

Hi,
does anyone know of a good php validator online. I used one called bermi.org and put my code in and gave me an error but i don't know what line the error is occuring. Perhaps someone could help me out.

This is the code
tutors.php

<?php
/**
 *
 * INDEX - Tutor index
 *
 *
 */

require_once("../include/inc_global.php");
require_once(DOC__ROOT . "lang/en/generic.php");
require_once(DOC__ROOT . "lang/en/tutors/tutors.php");

check_user($_user, 'staff');

);
$UI->head();
$UI->body();

$UI->content_start();
echo '<p>' . WELCOME . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . SECTIONS__INTRO . '</p>';
?>

<table class="option_list" style="width: 500px;">

This is the error it produced

Ooops! There are some errors on the XHTML page

You want to validate PHP or validate the page that is generated? You can validate PHP by running the script, if it runs it's valid :)

If you want to validate the page generated then use http://validator.w3.org/

[TopDogger]

You can also turn on the error message. It does a good job of pinpointing most errors. Place it at the top of your script, just after the first opening PHP tag '<?php'

Do not leave this turned on for a live site. It may give too much information to hackers.

To turn on error messages:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

To turn off error messages:

error_reporting(0);

How do i know how to get the error message as i have put the error_reporting(E_ALL); after the first opening PHP tag like this

<?php

ran a page consisting of <?php phpinfo(); ?> and got error messages, ran it again and got "This page is Valid XHTML" ran it 3rd time and got error messages
suggest the w3c validator http://validator.w3.org/ which gives location of errors at least
