PHP: Problems opening some XML Files

I am having a headache trying to parse XML files.

Previously, my script to open and parse XML files has worked flawlessly. However, today I noticed it was not working correctly so I took a look.

My XML files are uniquely formatted. Unfortunately I cannot show an example of those. When I looked into the issue though, I realized they were being improperly read by PHP. Instead of reading the entire file into a string, it strips the XML tags and only takes in the values between those tags. I have no idea why it is doing this.

Not much example code:

echo file_get_contents(URL_TO_FILE);

<?php
$xml=simplexml_load_file("note.xml");
print_r($xml);
?>

Sounds like you are viewing the xml in an html reader (browser). This will ignore the tags of course. Be sure you are viewing the source.
