Hi all,
Does anyone know a way to convert a simplexml object to a float variable?
I have an onbect: $fee, which is a decimal price. I need to add something to
this price, but I loose the decimal part if I do. I've tried using
settype($fee, "float") but that doesn't work.
All the simplexml examples in the manual concern strings, not numbers.
Any suggestions?
