Here's a php script that I use to submit a request to a copy of the w3c
html validator that I host on a local server. I use it for validating
all of the html pages in a local directory.

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$page = "http://validator.invalid/check?uri=$argv[1]";;
if ($fp = fopen($page, 'r')) {
        $contents = fread($fp, 100000);
        // Find 'Passed validation' or 'Failed validation'
        if (preg_match("/\bPassed validation/",$contents)) {
                echo(1);
        } else {
                if (preg_match("/\bFailed validation/",$contents)) {
                        echo(0);
                } else {
                        echo(-1);
                }
        }
        fclose($fp);
} else {
        echo(-1);
}
?>

You could also check out the examples at paypal.com. They have an html
interface, and examples of how to use it from php.
