GeoPhoenix answered above, I figured I'd put it into an answer so that there's an offical one:

if you remove the line it renders the svg

PHP can see as the opening tag for PHP code (rather than an XML declaration), thanks to the short-open-tag setting (thanks to fvu). This is an easy fix, I just replaced

with

';?>

This has the same intended result and doesn't cause syntax errors.
