[SOLVED] Accessing child objects

[Psycho]

I have an XML document which I am reading in via simplexml_load_file

 

Here is a sample of the output:

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
    [id] => 7870
    [title] => Apocalypse Now
    [format] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [displayname] => DVD
            [sortname] => DVD
        )
)

 

I can reference the title using $objectVariable->title. But, I cannot reference the format displayname in this manner: $objectVariable->format->displayname

 

The only way I have been able to access that value is using a two-step process such as:

$tmpVar = $objectVariable->format;
echo $tmpVar->displayname;

 

So, is there a way to access child objects of an object directly?

I must have had something else going on, it is now working as I expected.
