I’m not confident this is the right way of getting the nodes, but this works. I’m much more comfortable with SimpleXML…sorry.
<?php
$oDOM = new DOMDocument();
$oDOM->loadXML(file_get_contents('books.xml')); #See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762271(VS.85).aspx
foreach ($oDOM->getElementsByTagName('book') as $oBookNode)
{
printf(
"INSERT INTO table (title, author, description) VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%s')",
mysql_real_escape_string($oBookNode->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue),
mysql_real_escape_string($oBookNode->getElementsByTagName('author')->item(0)->nodeValue),
mysql_real_escape_string($oBookNode->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue)
);
}
