   echo $relatedSlides;
  ?>

$result[‘RelatedSlideshows’]; is an array and it is printing perfectly. this is not an multidimensional array. this is simple array. how i do this???

Answer 1

A simpleXML object is not an Array. It is an object that under some circumstances can be treated like an array. Manual Reference

The SimpleXML extension provides a very simple and easily usable toolset to convert XML to an object that can be processed with normal property selectors and array iterators.

Try:

$relatedSlides = array();
$it = $result->RelatedSlideshows->getIterator();
// Iterate over the values in the ArrayObject:
foreach ($it as $key=>$val)
{
    $relatedSlides[] = $val;
}
 $relatedSlides = implode(",",$relatedSlides);
