Help me check my wap php page

hi, I've just converted my index.wml file to php to use the dynamic features of php.

Here's what i add to the wml to make it into index.php:

Code:

<?php  
// send wml headers 
header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml");  
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>";  
echo "<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC \"-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN\""  
   . " \"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml\">"; 
?>

- Original WML code -

am i doing it right?

Then when i tried to add a php feature (a dynamic image banner) into the wml part of the script, something goes wrong. It loads correctly on my phone, but it doesn't when i tried to view it on Opera or wap emulator.

This is the code that i tried to add into the WML section of my code:

Code:

<p align="center">
<?
$adsid = rand(1, 240);
$ts = time();
echo("<a href=http://click.buzzcity.com/click.php?bid=$adsid&partnerid=1234&ts=$ts><img
src=http://ads.buzzcity.com/show.php?bid=$adsid&partnerid=1234&ts=$ts></a>"); 
?></p>

Your &'s need to be &'s

I would also avoid using php short tags (<?) too,
as it can sometimes cause confusion with xml tags...

Do you get any errors with Opera?
Additionally, I have found that setting the header as follows sometimes makes a difference:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml, true");

?>

Also, you need to close all your tags properly.
In this case: <img />

still doesn't seem to work. the error's at the <a href=> part.
do i have to add ' or " to it?

Yes, I missed that.
You need to use valid xml/wml.....
This means you must quote all your attributes and close all tags...
See the WAP Resources sticky -
there is a link to a wml validator there - use it....

here's what i have:

Code:

<p align="center">
<?php
header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml, true"); 
$adsid = rand(1, 240);
$ts = time();
echo("<a href="http://click.buzzcity.com/click.php?bid=$adsid&partnerid=1234&ts=$ts"><img
src="http://ads.buzzcity.com/show.php?bid=$adsid&partnerid=1234&ts=$ts" /></a>"); 
?></p>

You must send the header before anything is sent to the browser:
is: before <p ..... in this case.

Show your outputted source code...
this link / text must be within the <card>
