Hi,

<?php
  $doc = new DOMDocument();
  $doc->load( 'books.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";
  }
  ?>

Try changing the parenthesis to brackets.

$author = $authors->item[0]->nodeValue;
