Need help....

You're using (parenthesis) instead of [square brackets] for your indices. Try $authors->item[0]->nodeValue (et al.) instead.

<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load( 'abc.xml' );

$books = $doc->getElementsByTagName( "book" );
foreach( $books as $book )
{
$authors = $book->getElementsByTagName( "author" );
$author = $authors->item[0]->nodeValue;

$publishers = $book->getElementsByTagName( "publisher" );
$publisher = $publishers->item[0]->nodeValue;

$titles = $book->getElementsByTagName( "title" );
$title = $titles->item[0]->nodeValue;

echo "$title - $author - $publisher\n";
}
?>

where are you testing this? does your host support php5 and libxml? DOMdocument can also be disabled deliberately by your host; check with them to see if it is enabled.

Sorry for the late reply, they only have PHP 4.2.3 so I went to another free web hosting site

that explains it.

you might look into the simpleXML class as well; some aspects are much easier.
