Hi Damian. I'm new at XML as well, but I know that you're not
writing in XHTML, though the W3C validator will look at your DTD,
think you're trying to validate an XHTML document, and tell you that
nothing works in it. Others, I'm sure, will tell you how to fix the
problem.

As far as I know, the W3C's validator is not a generic XML validator, it
does validate HTML and XHTML (which is only one example of XML) though.

Searching for you I discovered that the W3C's site has an XSD Validator:

http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv

Or you might want to search the web for an XSD or Schema Validator utility.

Your XML file is XML with an XHTML DOCTYPE, but it isn't XHTML. It might
be that the XSL file transforms your XML to XHTML, but then the XSL file
should put the XHTML DOCTYPE on the *result* of your tranformation.

Nothing here is defined in the XHTML DTD ..

XSV is happy to validate your instance with your schema document --
what precisely is the problem you're facing?

Purly an interpretation issue i think. I thought that XML and XHTML
where basically the same and if i used a xhtml doc type anf an xml
schema i'd be able to validate my xml using the wc3 xhtml validator.

I suppose i ccould get this to validate if i edited the strict DTD so
'ive read, but i've checked validation with a php script.

<?php

$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom ->load('ordercontents.xml');

if(!$dom ->schemaValidate('ordercontents.xsd')) {
print "Document is not valid";
}else{
print"Document is valid";}

?>

This is for a uni project (i'm part time/full time work and familly so
don't get access to the same info and support my full time compadres
do)

I've had to develop a dynamic php/sql online store + shopping cart.
This part of the brief was to use a user defined DTD / W3C XML Schema
and Generated content is valid to a user-defined DTD or W3C XML Schema.

Thanks for help guys. Just got to try and do somthing with templating
and separating the code from the markup. Any recomendations?

Thanks

Damian

XML is a Specification. XHTML is just one of hundreds (by now probably
thousands) of markup languages written using XML.
