The code is no less readable my way, YMMV

To keep the code readable?
$value = $xml->node;
vs.
$value = (String)$xml->node;
I like the first one. Plus you handle it to dynamically to the right type
function __get($value)
{
if is float return float casted value
if is boolean ...
and so on
}

Re: [PHP] SimpleXML and the Single String (SOLVED)
There is another nice way. You can pass a second value to the simple xml constructor which is a class name to be used instead of SimpleXMLElement. You can write your own class that extends SimpleXMLElement and override the magic methods to skip the casting Simon Schick hat am 22.

Re: [PHP] SimpleXML and the Single String (SOLVED)
Hi, Jay If you're not using the variable *$xmlCompany* somewhere else I'd try to skip the array and just do it with this single line: *$arrayLead[0]->Company = (string) $xml->SignonRq->SignonTransport->CustId->SPName;* The result should not differ from what you have now.
