i am trying to create an xhtml strict page. At the top i have a small piece of php code that will check the user has the required cookie (ie they've logged in) as soon as i include this code the page is a php page and therefore not valid xhtml. The php code is:
if($_COOKIE['logedin'] == NULL) {
header("Location: login.php");
exit();
}
how can i put this in a seperate php file then call it or run it from my xhtml page?

you don't have to, because only the output has to be validated. and the <?php ... ?> block is not a part of the output.
well, do you have <?php and ?> around your code-block at all?

I'm not really sure what's your problem but I guess that you're trying to validate the php source code. Put into the validator instead the page which has been already generated by the server - so without the php code. PHP is not a part of xHTML.
EDIT: Seem to be late
