I tried with no success yesterday to get an answer to this question so I'll try again. I have an object from using simpleXML and inside that object is an array holding even more objects. However, it's not acting like an array and therefore I can't go through it. (i.e. I can't use the count function to see how big it is and loop through it) This below should be an array: $xml->RES->R When I use print_r($xml->RES->R) I get $xml->RES->R[0] printed, which is below: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [U] => http://.../benefits/ [UD] => http://.../benefits/ [UE] => http://.../benefits/ [T] => <b>Benefits</b> [RK] => 10 [CRAWLDATE] => 17 May 2006 [FS] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) [S] => Home, <b>Benefits</b> Forms Jobs Training Locations, Who We Are E-Info Publications EVA<br> Team Websites. <b>...</b> 2006 <b>Benefits</b> Vote. <b>Benefits</b> Links. <b>Benefits</b> Websites. <b>...</b> [LANG] => en [HAS] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [L] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) [C] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) ) ) When I use print_r($xml->RES) I get the below. As you can see [R] => Array but yet in the above example it is an object. I'm so confused and lost. Can anyone help?
