How can PHP scripts be safely integrated into XML files for processing?

To safely integrate PHP scripts into XML files for processing, you can use CDATA sections within the XML file to encapsulate the PHP code. This ensures that the PHP code is treated as character data and not parsed as XML tags. By using CDATA sections, you can safely embed PHP scripts within XML files without causing parsing errors. 

<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
    <data><![CDATA[<?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?>]]></data>
</root>';

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML($xml);
echo $doc->saveXML();
?>
