You can't output both XML and HTML within a single HTTP response. Well, you can, but the client won't know what to do with it. If you need to generate XML, that typically isn't going to be returned directly to the browser, because the browser won't know what to do with it. So, you will have to take a slightly different approach. There are a couple of ways you could go. You could notify the user before generating the XML, then redirect the user to the XML generation. Or, you could generate the XML and store it in a variable or file, then allow the user to click a link to generate the appropriate XML response.
