Doctype??

Why don't any of the Zip Download files have the DOCTYPE referenced at the top?

I would assume the DOCTYPE will be added at a later stage. Probably in an include file.

According to the "your first PHP file" video, php files are set up with the following DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html>

You could add it. Or skip ahead to the later stages to see it. I guess I don't think of every zip file as a complete file ready for posting on a server.
