PHP + domdocument + start line expected. <

HI All,

Following is my code for generating an xml with employee details. I am using PHP 5.2.1

      $result = mysql_query ("select * from tblemployee" ) ;
      if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 0)
      {
            $doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
            $doc = new DOMDocument;
            $doc->formatOutput = true;

            $videolibrary = $doc->createElement("EmpGroup");
            $videolibrary = $doc->appendChild($videolibrary);
            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
            {
                  $video = $doc->createElement("Group");
                  $video->setAttribute("grp_name" , $row['Emp_Grp']);
                  $video = $videolibrary->appendChild($video);

            }
            $xml_string = htmlentities($doc->saveXML());
            echo ("&status=success&output=$xml_string&");
      }

But the script is giving following error.

domdocument - start tag expected <

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance

is there a reason for creating this twice?
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$doc = new DOMDocument;
try dropping the first one
