Display XML in proper formatted way

Question

Is there any way to show XML data in a good and readable format using PHP? I know I can build code to do this, but is there a function that does something similar I can reuse?

eg:

<animals><animal><name>Lion</name><type>Stay away</type></animal><animal><name>Koala Bear</name><type>Hug</type></animal></animals>

Is there some code that will show me the data in a decent format? eg:

Animal
  Name - Lion
  Type - Stay Away
Animal
  Name - Koala Bear
  Type - Hug
