Working with the simplexml_load_file() function, I get a side effect. To understand what I mean, see this code:

$result = simplexml_load_file($xml_link);

$arr = array();
foreach ($result->element as $elem) {
    $arr[] = $elem->number[0];
}

print_r($arr);

Output:

Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [0] => 330411879136
    )

[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [0] => 370346266228
    )

[2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [0] => 370346266223
    )
)

How would I store data into the array so that output would look like so:

 Array
 (
 [0] => 330411879136

 [1] => 370346266228

 [2] => 370346266223
 )
