Display XML in PHP

Below is a sample of how you can display XML on your website using PHP.

<?php
    // Loading the XML file
    $xml = simplexml_load_file("books.xml");
    echo "<h2>".$xml->getName()."</h2><br />";
    foreach($xml->children() as $book)
    {
        echo "BOOK : ".$book->attributes()->id."<br />";
        echo "Author : ".$book->author." <br />";
        echo "Title : ".$book->title." <br />";
        echo "Genre : ".$book->genre." <br />";
        echo "Price : ".$book->price." <br />";
        echo "Publish Date : ".$book->publish_date." <br />";
        echo "Description : ".$book->description." <br />";
        echo "<hr/>";
    }
?>
