How do I load a SVG file that's been generated with PHP?

Question

I want to create a SVG file with PHP, and then include it in a HTML file. Here\'s what I have so far (following this tutorial)

svg.php:

<

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

if you remove the <?xml?> 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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

with

<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>';?>

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