How do I output XML in the view?

[eluser]RedLeader[/eluser]
Hello everyone,

Sorry for what appears to be a very noob question but I don't know if I am outputting XML to the view properly.

When I try to do it I put the following in my view file called "response_view.php":

Code:

<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?>
<response>
    <type>&lt;?php echo $type ?&gt;</type>
    <message>&lt;?php echo $message ?&gt;</message>
</response>

Is that good enough?

Thanks for any help you can offer!
