title: Empty SimpleXML object?
body: <p>I have a simpleXML object:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleXMLElement Object ( 
      [ClosingBalance] =&gt; 5682.6500000 
      [Items] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) 
      [OpeningBalance] =&gt; 0
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>"Items" should be populated with data, however it seems to have returned an empty <code>SimpleXMLElement Object ( )</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure if its because I am reading this array incorrectly. Can someone confirm? If not how I can check what is inside the 'empty' object?</p>
