Hi all!

My first post!

I was using Jubba’s tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/web/mysql\_xml\_php.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../web/mysql_xml_php.htm)

but I found that this line:  
“[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New][COLOR=#0000bb]$xml\_output [/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]= [/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000]”\<?xml version=“1.0”?\>  
“[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700];[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]” seemed to terminate my php code - it’s the “?\>” that does it.

Is this a mistake with the tutorial or have I missed something?

Thanks a lot,  
Chris
