This paper attempts to provide insight as to how to guarantee a statement such as My PHP script produces WML. To expand a little, the emphasis is to ensure that a script always produces a valid WML page. The context is where pages in a Web site are being created by an embedded scripting language (such as PHP, ASP, Perl) and also that the resulting pages are to conform to a strict tagged mark‐up scheme such as WML or XHTML. Although there are validators for static pages, there is nothing available to check that a page containing embedded scripting will (always) generate valid documents. What is required is a validator for dynamic Web pages. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
