Maybe this from the FAQ will help?..

<snip>
5.10 How am I supposed to mix XML and PHP? It complains about my <?xml>
tags!
You need to turn off the short tags by setting short_tags to 0 in your
php3.ini file, or by using the php3_short_tags Apache directive. (You could
even use a <File> section to do this selectively.) You can also disable and
re-enable the short tags in your script using the short_tags() function.
