How do I grab the value from this SimpleXMLElement as a string in PHP

Question

Say I have a variable called $myXMLElement and when I dump the variable it looks like this.

SimpleXMLElement Object ( 
    [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 7 ) 
    [0] => Kirkpatrick 
)

How do I grab the value of Kirkpatrick in PHP

Answer 1

Have you tried:

(string) $var[0]

? Normally you do that with string casting, will turn SimpleXMLElements into the XML nodeValue.

Answer 2

这应该获得值：

echo $myXMLElement->{'0'};
