Why are these XML tags creating an error in my PHP?

I am trying to use XML in a PHP document. I am getting an error for the <?xml and the ?> tags. I assume PHP is trying to read the XML tags as PHP tags. Does anyone know what bug is?

<body>
     <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="stylebox.css" ?> 
     <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
         <rect id="p1" x="100" y="100" width="100" height="100" />
         <rect id="p2" x="200" y="100" width="100" height="100" />
     </svg>
</body>

This is short php open tags creating problem. Change settings in you php.ini file

Put :

short_open_tag = Off

Otherwise assign this value in a variable in place of <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="stylebox.css" ?> :

$XMLstr='<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="stylebox.css" ?>';

echo $XMLstr;

PHP is trying to parse your <? ?> tags as short opening and closing PHP tags. Try printing this using echo, print, etc.:

<body>
     <?php echo '<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="stylebox.css" ?>'; ?>
     <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
         <rect id="p1" x="100" y="100" width="100" height="100" />
         <rect id="p2" x="200" y="100" width="100" height="100" />
     </svg>
</body>
