Hi all, Does anyone know a way to convert a simplexml object to a float variable? I have an onbect: $fee, which is a decimal price. I need to add something to this price, but I loose the decimal part if I do. I've tried using settype($fee, "float") but that doesn't work. All the simplexml examples in the manual concern strings, not numbers. Any suggestions?
