<chart caption='COST OF TURNOVER' subCaption='' showPercentValues='1' pieSliceDepth='30' showBorder='0'> is behaving as html tags...

So it is coming in output but you wont be able to see it.It can be seen in view source.

You want to disply it as a text??
Try this:

<?php
$str = "<chart caption='COST OF TURNOVER' subCaption='' showPercentValues='1' pieSliceDepth='30' showBorder='0'>";
$strXML1 = htmlspecialchars($str, ENT_QUOTES);
echo $strXML1; 
?>

it wont display dude coz its a tag. i dont what kind of tag is that but you actually created it... try viewing the source code and youll see that your tag has been created.
