<?php
$lib  = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");
foreach($lib as $book){
  echo $book->title;
  echo "<br />";
}

?>

As we know, $lib become array. We can access direct to particular element such as:

<?php
$lib  = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");
$book = $lib->book[1];
echo $book->title;
echo $book->author;
echo "<br />";
$book = $lib->book[2];
echo $book->title;
echo $book->author;
echo "<br />";
?>
