Easy . . . .
header("content-type:text/xml");
then output valid XML from your PHP script. Flash will read it in either way. If your Flash .swf is configured with the XML source as the parameter,
addVariable('xmlsource','/files/slideshow.php'); // SWFobject
<param name="FlashVars" value="xmlsource=/files/slideshow.php">
<!-- clunky object code -->

Thanks optik but modifying the .htaccess file for that directory to something like AddType application/x-httpd-php .xml would mean the entire xml file would be processed and there are many formatitng issues that would have to be addressed. I would get many unexpected T_STRING issues. For example it would throw an error on the first line <?xml version='1.0'?>

Trust me it works fine.
Use heredoc syntax to make it easier for yourself.

Well, you wouldn't, like any PHP file, it would only execute PHP between <?php and ?>. But it's a bit of overkill to mod the entire system for a few files with the Flash player. Just output XML from a script, also works fine, solution above.
