Actually what you are trying to do is check that your XML is "well-formed". Well-formed and valid are two completely different concepts in XML. A document, i.e. file containing your XML, can be well-formed but not valid. However if it is a valid document, by definition it must be well-formed.
Do an Internet search for "check XML well-formedness" and you should find some utilities that will do what you want. Such tools include xmlproc and xmlproc_val.
