I have successfully used in the past .php files as external stylesheets (instead of .css), but i discovered that when I include a doctype tag (I forget which doctype), this does not work anymore. Is there any reason for this?

Maybe because external stylesheets don't use xml and including a doctype tag causes the browser to abort processing the file?
Nothing is always absolutely so.

I tried using two identical external files, one as .css and the other as .php, and only the .css worked.

What happens when you try to access the .php file directly?

It loads properly and the browser interprets it as HTML code. Both with and without generated content.

Got URL?
Got script?
Got plain text?

No, it's on local server, but anyways, I made sure there was no other problem, and that the doctype was the only thing causing the issue.
I just wanted to know why doctype declerations would go against that.

Then, why add the doctype?

Oh, that was accidental, I was lazy and pasted some header code from a tut I was reading and had a doctype decleration, and it took me two long frustrated hours to figure out the issue. Just curious and would like to know more so that I, and others, can avoid this in the future.

Well, without the code etc, I have no idea.
