The phpinfo()-function should contain a character encoding meta-tag. This would make it valid html with the w3c-validator at http://validator.w3.org.

The meta-tag would be like:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

Why care for a debug tool? It's not that phpinfo() is supposed to be used everywhere. Also iso-8859-1 might not be always correct.

Well, iso-8859-1 was only an example-tag.
It is really simple to implement, so why not making it valid.

It's a debug tool. There's absolutely NO reason for it being 100% valid as long as it can be READ.

Well, it seems that this is already implenented, only commented out.
After looking at
/php-4.3.0/ext/standard/info.c
I found these lines:
/*
	php_printf("<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=%s\" />\n", charset);
*/

So you just have to uncomment it and it'll work.
