What I want is that when I make a Ajax get request to `domain/xml.php`. It return a XML file, so I can use httpRequest.responseXML to parse the XML file.

what I did is:

```
<?php
    $name = 'Just a tester';
?>

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<name><?php echo $name ?></name>

```

But the parser gives me an error of the line `<?xml version='1.0' ?>`, I thought it might be syntax conflict with the php delimiter `<?php`.

How can I request a url and get xml generated by php?
