print xml document

[mikerh9]

When I run script on bash I can see xml output. However, I cannot see the output on the browser.

Any ideas why?

Note: the XML file is valid

i know that internet explorer does really funny things for me when i try to view xml documents. your browser might be interpreting the xml as html and therefore your page might appear blank. OR, your browser might be trying to interpret the xml as a mime type or something....all those xml elements would look like unknown html tags.

try sending mime type info with header().

OR use htmlspecialchars() on the xml before you ECHO it to the browser. for instance, if your xml is stored in a variable $my_xml then do this

echo htmlspecialchars($my_xml);

To expand on sneakyimp's answer:
If you haven't set the Content-Type header to "text/xml", the default of "text/html" will be sent. And there's a good chance that none of your XML tags are HTML. And the HTML spec says that any unrecognised tags are ignored.

Have you tried the browser's "View Source" command?
