Hi!
I am using some XML parser to get some information from API, blah blah... :)

In one place in my script, I need to convert string to int but I'm not sure how...

Here is my object:

object(parserXMLElement)#45 (4) {
  ["name:private"]=>
  string(7) "balance"
  ["data:private"]=>
  object(SimpleXMLElement)#46 (1) {
    [0]=>
    string(12) "11426.46"
  }
  ["children:private"]=>
  NULL
  ["rows:private"]=>
  NULL
}

I need to have this string "11426.46" stored in some var as integer.
When I echo $parsed->result->balance I get that string, but if I want to cast it as int, the result is: 1.

Please help!
Thanks a lot!
