You're right. Was late at night. I pasted the wrong value. The working value
is

,----
| org-export-html-xml-declaration is a variable defined in `org-html.el'.

That other value was in my scratch buffer from trying to debug the
situation. Note, I dont export to php, only html (currently).

Two machines, both with Debian Squeeze.

Let me re-run the scenario and check my publish parameters - its really
been a LONG time since I published but something changed with
apache. Both machines are relatively new installs. Possibly something
third party needs to be instaled on squeeze now to get xml statements
parsed? A google was not so helpful.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
