If you have the XML in a file, use an XML parser or editor with such a
parser. For instance, "XML Copy Editor" (see
http://xml-copy-editor.sourceforge.net/).

Best regards.

Open the xml file with your web browser (IE or Firefox).

If it's an automatic task then just try this:

libxml_internal_errors(true);
$parsed_xml=simplexml_load_string($xml) //or
simplexml_load_file($path) if the xml is in a file
if ($parsed_xml)
//xml is valid, do your thing
else
//xml not valid
