exactly.
so the syntax engine should decide if it really is PHP or if is another
tag, like XML.

Short tags = '<?'. That matches '<?php' as well as '<?=' or
'<?xml'.

you do know the tag is in the HTML, not within a php tags?
1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
4
5 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
6 <head>
...
and, yes, short tags are enabled in my verson of php.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
Turn Off ShortTags and \'<?xml will work. And after reading xml docs
you will know why anywhere in a document \'?>\' will end php or any
other xml processing instruction.

Description:
------------
when an xml 'starting' tag is placed on an document, php confuses it
with its opining and closing tag.
it confuses its closing tag with xml end of the tag, and php confuses
the open tag for php with the start of the tag declaring an xml
document.
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1
currently, the workaround is:
<?php echo'<'.'?'.'x'.'m'.'l
vers'.'ion="1'.'.'.'0'.'"
en'.'codi'.'ng="UT'.'F-8'.'"'.'?'.'>'."\n";?>
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Expected result:
----------------
[no error],rest of page
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1
