Get value from PHP SimpleXMLElement object ([0] => value)

Question

I have this code, and I can't get the real value from this structure Prices/Price or Prices/RoomPrice because always in print_r or var_dump displays SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => 19 )

This is my code:

$prices = $boardPlan->Prices->Price; 
var_dump($prices);
//VAR_DUMP of this displays SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => 19 )
//Similar is for these codes:
print_r($prices[0]);
print_r($prices{0});

I need to get only the value "19".

Also, If I add this code:

$prices = $boardPlan->Prices->Price->{0}; 
var_dump($prices);
//VAR_DUMP displays nothing

This is my XML String:

You might be looking for [__toString()](https://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.tostring.php) — Patrick Q, Jan 07 '20 at 17:08
FYI, if you simply use `echo` instead of `var_dump()`, I think that gets called automatically behind the scenes. — Patrick Q, Jan 07 '20 at 17:09
