Why is the XML output is encoded?

["luminousheart" <luminousheart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is our effort, to produce an xml file from an html content that 
we parse.  How can I stop PHP from encoding my html tags into &lts 
and $gts?

To explain what we get now and what is desired, I am provided a 
color-coded snippets of the xml files. The PHP code is also provided 
for your critical eyes.

 
Thank you for your help in advance.
