Well, in this case, XML would care, since you'd be using a < or > inside
a tag, so, in order for that to work, if what he meant was that he
wanted to store PHP code directly inside the XML document, and not
actually EXECUTE code INSIDE the XML file, he would have to use
<![CDATA[bla]]> syntax around the PHP code for it not to break the XML file.

So, in this case that would be:
<root>
<data><![CDATA[<?php require_once("read_database.php"); ?>]]></data>
</root>

Which works fine as long as he doesn't have ]]> somewhere in the code. :)
