The documentation says the function cannot be called statically. That is the error you should see because of that specification (I'm suprised PHP let you give the function an argument at all). Try instead:

Is true, this is not a bug. Thanks.

The correct code to do this is:
<?
require_once('XML/Tree.php');
$xt = new XML_Tree('data.xml');
$res = $xt->getTreeFromFile();
if (PEAR::isError($res)){
echo "ERROR: When loading XML File.";
return;
}
echo "OK.\n";
$xt->dump();
?>
