xhtml not valid after inserting php call

I insert into Magento template:

xml:lang="<?php echo $this->getLang() ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->getLang() ?>">

Which is taken directly from the modern default theme that comes with magento version 1.7. However upon trying to validate the page with W3C i get this error:

Line 325, Column 10: end tag for "html" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified. You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

 Line 2, Column 1: start tag was here
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Any idea how to fix this? I haven't modified header.phtml and don't have a custom one in my theme folder...

Does your template include the tag at the end – the end tag for html that the validator actually complains about?

It appears you're trying to validate your PHP document instead of the generated HTML. Don't do this. Put the .php on a web server, access the server through your browser and validate the resulting source code.
