How to display both XML and HTML in php?

-MY GOAL is to display the html tags "My page and TESTING on the page" on the same page.

-If I remove the html tags. It give me the XML.enter image description here

-If I removed the header(‘Content-type: text/xml’); I get only the html and not the xml.
enter image description here

HOW CAN I HAVE BOTH IN THE SAME PAGE.

The code is as follows:

<?php
$test_array = array (
  'bla' => 'blub',
  'foo' => 'bar',
  'overflow' => 'stack',
 );
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
 array_walk_recursive($test_array, array ($xml, 'addChild'));
ob_start();
print $xml->asXML();
$xml_output = ob_get_clean();
//header('Content-type: text/xml');
echo $xml_output;
?>
<?php // New PHP block for HTML content ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
        <title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>TESTING</h1>
</body>
</html>

/Another try was/
TO put the header as header(‘Content-type: text/json’); //JSON
but here I get the problem whereby it prints the whole html tags
enter image description here

THIS WOULD ALSO BE GOOD FOR ME, IF AM ABLE TO SOLVE THIS

    You can’t mix different content types in a single response.

    You output a HTML page that displays the other content. However formatting/styling/interaction would all be your job. You need to escape the included content for HTML – like any other variable.

    $xml = <<<'XML'
<?xml version="1.0">
<foo>
  <bar/>
<foo>
XML;

echo '<h1>Example</h1>';
echo '<pre><code class="language-xml">', htmlspecialchars($xml), '</code></pre>';

    restructuring this a bit:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
        <title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>TESTING</h1>
<pre>
<?php
$test_array = array (
  'bla' => 'blub',
  'foo' => 'bar',
  'overflow' => 'stack',
 );
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
array_walk_recursive($test_array, array ($xml, 'addChild'));
print htmlspecialchars($xml->asXML());
?>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

    Should give you this in your browser:
    result in the browser

    The <pre>-Tag tells the browser that this is preformatted text and the htmlspecialchars() makes sure to replace < and > (open and closing brackets) with HTML entities so that the browser won’t try to interpret this as HTML-Tags, but just as plain text.

    Hope this helps!

    If you just need to display html with xml (with tags), use this

    <h1>Test html header</h1>
<?php
$string =
"
<root>
    <blub>
        <example_value>EXAMPLE</example_value>
    </blub>
</root>
";
echo '<pre>', htmlentities($string), '</pre>';
?>
