XML Parsing Error: junk after document element

Question

I am getting this error when I try to view my dynamically generated (PHP) XML document:

XML Parsing Error: junk after document element Location: http://dev.leisurepublishing.com/vtc/master.xml.php Line Number 17, Column 1: ^

I have googled and looked through the document and I can't figure out what's wrong, can someone help me spot the problem?

<?php

header("Content-type: text/xml");
require_once("admin/assets/db_connect.php");

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>"
?>

<?php

require_once("admin/assets/db_disconnect.php");

?>

Answer 1

Nevermind. I found that the path to the last require_once() was bad and when I fixed the path the parse error went away too.
