Print SimpleXMLElement object

Question

I have a SimpleXMLElement like this:

SimpleXMLElement Object ( [trailer] => SimpleXMLElement Object (
[title] => This is the title
[link] => http://example.com
[trailer_id] => 60373
[embed] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) ) )

I've google for two hours now, and couldn't find how to print the "trailer_id". Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Two hours? `:o)`. Just found [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1133931/getting-actual-value-from-php-simplexml-node), which looks very helpful. — halfer, Oct 05 '12 at 13:46
seems like i just used the wrong key words for about two hours.. :P — 3und80, Oct 05 '12 at 13:59
seems like you should have started with http://php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php — Gordon, Oct 05 '12 at 14:26

They are objects, try:

echo $xml->trailer->trailer_id;
