Thanx Toby.
I did changed it and add .phtml .php3 .html after .php

You mean like as a php function:
<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>' ."\n"; ?>

That's the one. In general, for XML, XHTML and HTML, the charset should be
specified in the HTTP header. For XHTML and XML, it should also be
specified with a prolog as per your example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

And for HTML it should be specified in a <meta> tag. (You can also use a
<meta/> tag in XHTML, although this is entirely unneeded)

Thanx again for the information Toby.
I did use the xml encoding and removed the <meta/> in the header section.
