Everything seems to be alright using Opera 7.23, which is the current 
version.

Why do you not echo the entire DOCTYPE within the php-script. Something 
like:

<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($var)) {
   echo ("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 
Transitional//EN\"\n\"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\">\n" .
        "<html>\n" .
        "<head>\n" .
        "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n" .
        "[make some checking];\n"
        "window.location.replace(window.location.href+'?var=value');\n"
        "</script>\n"

}

else{
session_register("var");
   echo ("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 
Transitional//EN\"\n\"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\">\n" .
        "<html>\n" .
        "<head>\n" .
}

?>

I think something like this should work fine.
