simplexml_load_string returning false when loading xml?
Hello everyone -
I am encountering a problem when trying to load a simple xml stream into a simplexml_load_string object. I am retrieving the xml from a webservice, and var_dumps at the appropriate places verify that it is being recieved properly. However, when I instantiate the simplexml_load_string object and load the xml into it, it returns false.
I've attached the XML I receive from the var_dump just before I instantiate below.
I'm not sure why this is not loading, any help would be invaluable.

$xml_content = $web_service_result; <--- this is the result called from another function, simple xml
var_dump($xml_content); <-- this returns the xml I added below, all looks to be fine...
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_content); <-- I attempt to load the xml into the object here...
var_dump($xml); <-- this outputs bool(false)
Here is the XML I receive:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
