How to generate HTML files depends on array length php

I have an XML file. 

<books>
  <book x="1" y="2">
     <name x="5" y="12">Java</name>
     <author x="8" y="16">Rao</author>
   </book>
   <book x="12" y="20">
     <name x="5" y="12">Php</name>
     <author x="5" y="12">Naidu</author>
   </book>
   <book x="19" y="29">
     <name x="25" y="22">Xml</name>
     <author x="25" y="12">Gowda</author>
   </book>
</books>

I have converted it into array using php.

I have standard html files i.e template. 

<body>
  <div id="books" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;">
    <div id="book" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;">
    <div id="name" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;"></div>
    <div id="author" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;"></div>
     </div>
   </div>
</body>

Based on the array legth, I need to generate those many html files with dynamic values inside the div which are present in array .
Here i need to generate 3 html files (because i have 3 book elements).How can i generate the html files by using array.

array is look like this:

Array
(
    [book] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [name] => Java
                    [author] => Rao
                    [@attributes] => Array
                        (
                            [x] => 1
                            [y] => 2
                        )

                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [name] => Php
                    [author] => Naidu
                    [@attributes] => Array
                        (
                            [x] => 12
                            [y] => 20
                        )

                )

            [2] => Array
                (
                    [name] => Xml
                    [author] => Gowda
                    [@attributes] => Array
                        (
                            [x] => 19
                            [y] => 29
                        )

                )

        )

    In your html template, use delimiters like real-template :

    <body>
    <div id="books" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;">
        <div id="book" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;">
            <div id="name" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;">{name}</div>
            <div id="author" style="float:right; position:absolute; left: 199px; top: 245px;">{author}</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

    In the PHP-side, use regexp to replace data in your template :

            $html_template = file_get_contents('/path/to/your/html/template');

        foreach($books['book'] as $i => $book) {
            $file_name = "html_page_for_book_{$i}";
            $html_file = fopen($file_name,'w');

            $html_data = preg_replace(array('/{author}/','/{name}/'),array($book['author'],$book['name']),$html_template);
            fwrite($html_file,$html_data);

            fclose($html_file);

        }
