Description:
------------
When generating XML from DOMDocument I get this error:

Error:
XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external 
entity
Location: http://test.mysite.com/getcounty.php?state=MS
Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
>
-^






Reproduce code:
---------------
function formulateResponse($info){
	
	$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
	$dom->formatOutput = true;
	$root = $dom->createElement('response');
	$root = $dom->appendChild($root);	
	
	foreach($info as $index => $county_array){
		$county = $dom->createElement('county');
		$county = $root->appendChild($county);	
		
		$name = $dom->createTextNode($county_array['county']);
		$name = $county->appendChild($name);	
	
	}
	
	header('Content-Type: text/xml');
	echo $dom->saveXML();
	
}



Expected result:
----------------
I expect the browser to be able to parse the XML below.  
This is the XML generated by the above function.  Whether I 
call it from an Ajax call or directly in the browser 
(Firefox 1.5.0.8 or Safari 2.0.4) the error is generated as 
specified in the description box above.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
