<?php
$xml_header = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><xml/>";

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_header);
$xml->addChild("first_string","this is &lt;mystring&gt;");
$xml->addChild("second_string","this is &lt; mystring&gt;");
$xml->asXML("test.xml");
echo "<pre>" . $xml->first_string . "<br />";   // 'this is '
echo $xml->second_string . "</pre>";                    // 'this is < mystring>'
?>

Can you provide a test script and its actual vs. expected output to show 
exactly what you mean?
