Question

ive got an object that looks like this with print_r():

SimpleDOM Object ( [0] => continent )

i wonder how i could get the continent as a string?

i have tried gettype($object[0]);

it still says its an object.

i just want to get the string “continent”.

Is this SimpleDOM the one you’re using?

If so, it looks like that value would be stored in the _Element::$tagName variable. So maybe try this?

echo $object[0]->tagName;
