I'm guessing you have php5.0.x running - you really want a php5.1.x
PhpInfo reports it's 5.2.0 so I'm covered there.
version if your going to use XML - it will avoid *alot* headaches with
regarding to using var_dump() (or print_r() or even echo) to figure out
what the simpleXML objects are/contain.

cell.
Function dump() just does a var_dump() of whatever is given in the first
argument within a <pre> tag and uses the second argument as a heading,
surrounded by dashes. In this case I copied the expression of what I am
dumping as the title (within single quotes so it does not expand).
foreach($row as $cell) {
dump($cell,'$cell);
dump($cell->p,'$cell->p');
dump((array)$cell->p,'(array)$cell->p');
dump($cell->p[1],'$cell->p[1]');
}
The section in question is shown below. Though $cell is shown as a
SimpleXMLElement containing one 'p' property which contains an array of
two
elements:
----------------------------$cell-----------------
object(SimpleXMLElement)#8 (1) {
["p"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(12) "Indian Rupee"
[1]=>
string(8) "Ngultrum"
}
}
If I dump that 'p' element, I don't get an array but an object with just
one element, the first value in the array
----------------------------$cell->p-----------------
object(SimpleXMLElement)#7 (1) {
[0]=>
string(12) "Indian Rupee"
}
If I typecast it to an array, I still get a single element
----------------------------(array)$cell->p-----------------
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(12) "Indian Rupee"
}
Nevertheless, if I explicitly index into the 'p' element, without even
typecasting it into an array, the second element is there.
----------------------------$cell->p[1]-----------------
object(SimpleXMLElement)#10 (1) {
[0]=>
string(8) "Ngultrum"
}
So, now you see it, now you don't, or do you? What's happening?
