<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>error</i>
</body>
</html>

You can also use this function to repair xml, for example if stray ampersands etc are breaking it:

<?php
$xml
= tidy_repair_string($xml, array(
'output-xml' => true,
'input-xml' => true
));
?>

Using tidy is very simple to fix a broken ods/odt document
I wrote the following code to be run from command line

<?php
$zip
= new ZipArchive();
if (
$zip->open($argv[1])) {
$fp = $zip->getStream('content.xml'); //file inside archive
if(!$fp)
die(
"Error: can't get stream to document file");
$stat = $zip->statName('content.xml');
$buf = ""; //file buffer
ob_start(); //to capture CRC error message
while (!feof($fp)) {
$buf .= fread($fp, 2048);
}
$s = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
fclose($fp);
$zip->close();
$config = array(
'indent' => true,
'clean' => true,
'input-xml' => true,
'output-xml' => true,
'wrap' => false
);
$tidy = new Tidy();
$xml = $tidy->repairstring($buf, $config);
$array=split("\n",$xml);
$file=tempnam("/tmp","xml");
$fp=fopen($file,"rw+");
foreach (
$array as $key=>$value) {
fwrite($fp,trim($value),strlen(trim($value)));
if (
$key==0) {
fwrite($fp,"\n");
}
}
fclose($fp);
if (
$zip->open($argv[1]) === TRUE) {
$zip->deleteName('content.xml');
$zip->addFile($file, 'content.xml');
$zip->close();
echo
'recovery complete';
} else {
echo
'recovery failed';
}
unlink($file);
}
?>

save it to a file called fixdoc and invoke as:
php fixdoc yourbrokendoc

for your safety, please work on a copy of your doc.

The docs referenced at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html above state that the configuration option 'sort-attributes' is an enumeration of 'none' and 'alpha', thereby specifying that strings of either form are the acceptable values. This may not be the case, however - on my system, the option was not honored until I set it to true. This may also be the case with other options, so experiment a bit. The output of tidy::getConfig() may be useful in this regard.
