[PHP] SimpleXML - issue with getting data out of the object returned

[Dan Joseph]

Hi,

I have a basic XML document that I am grabbing with simplexml_load_string(),
here is the print_r:

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Package] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[PackageID] => 804
[PackageName] => Silver
[BandwidthGB] => 20
[WebStorageMB] => 5120
[DBStorageMB] => 250
[POPMailBoxes] => 50
[WebStorageUnits] => 5
[BandwidthUnits] => 1
[DBStorageUnits] => 1
[POPUnits] => 5
[DomainHeaders] => 50
[DBType] => MSSQL
[OSType] => Windows
[Enabled] => True
)

[Count] => 1
)

When I try and access $x->Package->PackageID I don't get 804, I get:

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => 804
)

Could someone tell me how I just get the value 804 out of there?

Had that problem before:
$val = (string) $x->Package->PackageID;
or
$val = (int) $x->Package->PackageID;

or whatever type you want. ;)

Ha... I would have never figured that out...  Thank you to you both!  That
did the trick.
