Here is some PHP code which fetches the sku and quantity value for each item in your XML document (it’s not the best/nicest/most powerful way to search for particular piece of information in an XML document, but it works). Since you don’t tell us how you want to insert them in your database, I cannot do much more.

Here is the documentation about the PHP Document Object Model interface, which allows manipulation of XML documents. Please have a look at it.

$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->load('order09-05-12-1346847709.xml');
$itemList = $dom->getElementsByTagName('line-item');
foreach($itemList as $item) {
  $sku='';
  $qty='';
  foreach($item->childNodes as $child) {
    if ($child->localName == 'sku') {
      $sku = $child->textContent;
    }
    if ($child->localName == 'quantity') {
      $qty = $child->textContent;
    }
  }
  echo 'Item SKU: ' . $sku . '<br />';
  echo 'Item quantity: ' . $qty . '<br />';
  // cast to integer: intval($qty)
  echo '<br />';
}
