    Hi all!

    I'm using simplexml to load an xml into an object.
    The XML is this:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <request>
     <customerID>3</customerID>
     <appName>agenda</appName>
     <ticketType>cticket_agenda_server</ticketType>
     <ticketTypeID>1</ticketTypeID>
     <platformID>1</platformID>
     <ticketAction>addUsersToGroup</ticketAction>
    </request>

    When I do this:

    $file = simplexml_load_file( 'file.xml' );
    $ticketType = $file->ticketType;

    What i really have into $ticketType is a SimpleXMLElement... not the
    value "cticket_agenda_server"... What am I doing wrong? 

cast the value to a string when you pull it out if you want to use it that way: <?php $xml = <<<XML <?xml version="1.0"?> <request> <customerID>3</customerID> <appName>agenda</appName> <ticketType>cticket_agenda_server</ticketType> <ticketTypeID>1</ticketTypeID> <platformID>1</platformID> <ticketAction>addUsersToGroup</ticketAction> </request> XML; $file = new SimpleXMLElement($xml); $ticketTypeAsSimpleXmlElement = $file->ticketType; $ticketTypeAsString = (string)$file->ticketType; $ticketTypeAnalyzer = new ReflectionObject($ticketTypeAsSimpleXmlElement); echo (string)$ticketTypeAnalyzer . PHP_EOL; var_dump($ticketTypeAsString); ?> -nathan

Thanks! Problem fixed... But I think PHP must do the cast automatically. I think it's a bug fixed in a further version than mine as I've read
