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);
?>

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
.
