How to store a XML file as a String in PHP

Question

Hello everyone I am trying to create a XML file as a string in php so then I can curl it up to our system for processing.

How come I can't just do this?

$XML = ' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

All of the php code below seems to not want to be picked up anymore after this.

Why does this happen since the entire string is surrounded by ' ' ?

If there is a way around this please let me know.

Turn on error reporting and display errors on screen. If you get no subsequent output, something else may have gone wrong. I'll note that the leading whitespace before ` — Michael Berkowski, Apr 25 '14 at 15:28
