Re: SimpleXML and the Single String (SOLVED)

Hi, Jay If you're not using the variable *$xmlCompany* somewhere else I'd try to skip the array and just do it with this single line: *$arrayLead[0]->Company = (string) $xml->SignonRq->SignonTransport->CustId->SPName;* The result should not differ from what you have now.
