如何从一堆html页面中删除特定行？

Question

I have bunch of HTML pages, each contains a line at the top of the page, the line is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

pages were opening perfectly when I was running on localhost, now I have uploaded the files to server, and its giving me an error. the error is,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a7597163/public_html/secretary.html on line 1

when I remove this line the page is displayed without any error, but the problem is I cant manually remove each line out of it, can anybody tell me how can I remove that line from each page... I tried using this

document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace( /<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>/g, "");

but didnt work.

Thanks

If it is a PHP error. It is being thrown at the server-end, well before the client sees it and the JavaScript has time to act on it. So no JavaScript can solve this.

So here, the solution would be to modify or rather remove the line at the source as it is syntactically incorrect in the PHP-file itself when short-tags are turned on.

If your hosting provider does allow you to edit php.ini, you could do short_open_tag=Off. But that will also cause any other <? ... ?> PHP-blocks to stop working.
