This is simple HTML code, not PHP.
for PHP it must be:
====
<?PHP
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"'."\n";
echo '"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'."\n";
echo '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">'."\n";
echo '<head>'."\n";
blah-blah-blah
?>
===
OR
<?PHP
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

You don't need to say sorry, i am very thankful to you for the help. anyhow, i am still getting some errors.
can any one help me to solve them?

------------1

Line 1, Column 121: DTD did not contain element declaration for document type name

….0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

A DOCTYPE declares the version of the language used, as well as what the root (top) element of your document will be. For example, if the top element of your document is <html>, the DOCTYPE declaration will look like: "<!DOCTYPE html".

In most cases, it is safer not to type or edit the DOCTYPE declaration at all, and preferable to let a tool include it, or copy and paste it from a trusted list of DTDs.

------------2

Line 2, Column 43: document type does not allow element "html" here

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).

------------3

Line 53, Column 94: there is no attribute "style"

…><h4>Special Offer</h4><marquee style="height: 157px;" direction="up" scrollam…

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:

* incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
* by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
* by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).

Your main mistake is that you are mixing XHTML and HTML syntax. Also, I would not use XHTML syntax as it is not natively supported by any browser, and could send them into Quirks mode.

Also, the MARQUEE tag is not a HTML standard (it was created by Microsoft for IE and is supported in some other browsers).

The corrected code would be:

HTML Code:
