Re: Object Array?

Try using var_dump rather than print_r... maybe it'll give you more accurate data (e.g. to figure out if it's an object, as Rob said, or an array). --Daniel Jay Paulson wrote:

I tried with no success yesterday to get an answer to this question so I'll try again. I have an object from using simpleXML and inside that object is an array holding even more objects. However, it's not acting like an array and therefore I can't go through it. (i.e. I can't use the count function to see how big it is and loop through it) This below should be an array: $xml->RES->R When I use print_r($xml->RES->R) I get $xml->RES->R[0] printed, which is below: SimpleXMLElement Object (
