How can XML parsing and PHP execution be separated to ensure better code organization and security?

To separate XML parsing and PHP execution for better code organization and security, you can use PHP's built-in SimpleXML extension to parse XML data separately from the rest of your PHP code. This approach helps in keeping the XML parsing logic isolated and makes it easier to maintain and secure.

// XML parsing
$xmlData = '<data><item>Example</item></data>';
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlData);

// PHP execution
foreach ($xml->item as $item) {
    echo $item;
}
