I get

"Warning: DOMDocument::load(): Opening and ending tag mismatch: tags 
line 1 and ags in /Users/chregu/tmp/foo.xml, line: 1 in 
/Users/chregu/tmp/foo.php on line 3"

what is to be expected. 

Do you have set the error level correctly? Does it really die after 
load? The script shouldn't stop there.

and maybe http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/function.libxml-use-internal-
errors.php is of help for you
