Based on the fact the above works, it's just not doing exactly what I
want, I tried the following adjustments to the PHP.
Logically, I don't see any reason why it's not working, but it's
simply not displaying anything on the echo's.
Any ideas?

<?php
$file =3D "xml_test.xml";
function startTag($parser, $data){
	global $msg1;
	global $msg2;
	global $current;
	$current =3D $data;
	if ($current =3D=3D "message1") {
		$msg1 .=3D "<b>";
		return $msg1;
	} elseif ($current =3D=3D "message2") {
		$msg2 .=3D "<em>";
		return $msg2;
	}
}
function endTag($parser, $data){
	global $msg1;
	global $msg2;
	if ($data =3D=3D "message1") {
		$msg1 .=3D "</b>";
		return $msg1;
	} elseif ($data =3D=3D "message2") {
		$msg2 .=3D "</em>";
		return $msg2;
	}
}
function contents($parser, $data){
	global $msg1;
	global $msg2;
	global $current;
	if ($current =3D=3D "message1") {
		$msg1 .=3D $data;
		return $msg1;
	} elseif ($current =3D=3D "message2") {
		$msg2 .=3D $data;
		return $msg2;
	}
}
$xml_parser =3D xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "contents");
$fp =3D fopen($file, "r");
$data =3D fread($fp, 80000);
if(!(xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp)))){
	die("Error on line " . xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser));
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
fclose($fp);

echo $msg1;
echo $msg2;
?>
