PHP is not the issue here, but that the OP has not understood what XML is 
(and how it is to be used), what a CDATA section is (that its content is 
*not* parsed except for `]]>', and so cannot possibly display bold because 
of <b>…</b> in it), and that Firebug's innerHTML-based Edit feature is shaky 
at best with XML documents served as text/html.

Something along

  header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8');

is missing after

  <?php

but that would still not display anything of the markup in bold.  (And that 
is good so.)
