PHP error in .xml file?

Question

OK, firstly, I added this line to my .htaccess file, so the php engine parses the PHP code in the XML file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml .html .xml

After that, when I look at the XML file, I get this PHP error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/test.xml on line 1

But line 1 is not even php infact, it is line 1:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Can someone tell me what the problem is?

Thanks.
