Reading "SimpleXMLElement Object"

[redbrad0]

I am using a class that returns information in a array. If I do print_r on the info that is returned it outputs the below info

 

SimpleXMLElement Object

(

    [@attributes] => Array

        (

            [status] => ok

        )

 

    [message] => Add event complete

    [id] => E0-001-019159137-5

)

 

I am trying to return the value of "status" and of the "id" but this just returns a empty variable. I am sure this is something simple, but can't seem to figure out what its doing.

 

echo "Status:" . $event['@attributes']['status'] . "<br>";

echo "ID:" . $event['id'] . "<br>";

 

The full code is below

    $ev = &new Services_Eventful();
    // THE BELOW CODE WILL ADD A EVENT
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    $args = array(
      'title' =>'THIS IS A TEST EVENT BY BRAD',
      'start_time' => '2009-01-27 20:00:00',
      'description' => 'THIS IS THE DESCRIPTION OF BRADS TEST EVENT',
      'free' => '0',
      'price' => '$25.00 - $35.00',
      'venue_id' => 'V0-001-001450976-5'
    );
    $event = $ev->call('events/new', $args);
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    if ( PEAR::isError($event) )
    {
        print("An error occurred: " . $event->getMessage() . "\n");
        print_r( $ev );
    }	else	{
		echo "Status:" . $event['@attributes']['status'] . "<br>";
		echo "ID:" . $event['id'] . "<br>";
    }
    // The return value from a call is a SimpleXML data object.
    print_r( $event );
