Get value from XML Array in PHP

Question

I'm trying to get 1 value from my XML Array.

This is the code:

<?php
function objectsIntoArray($arrObjData, $arrSkipIndices = array())
{
    $arrData = array();

    // if input is object, convert into array
    if (is_object($arrObjData)) {
        $arrObjData = get_object_vars($arrObjData);
    }

    if (is_array($arrObjData)) {
        foreach ($arrObjData as $index => $value) {
            if (is_object($value) || is_array($value)) {
                $value = objectsIntoArray($value, $arrSkipIndices); // recursive call
            }
            if (in_array($index, $arrSkipIndices)) {
                continue;
            }
            $arrData[$index] = $value;
        }
    }
    return $arrData;
}
?>

Result:
<?php
$xmlUrl = "http://radiourl:port/status.xsl"; // XML feed file/URL
$xmlStr = file_get_contents($xmlUrl);
$xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($xmlStr);
$arrXml = objectsIntoArray($xmlObj);
print_r($arrXml);
?>

The result of print_r($arrXml); is this:

    Array ( 
      [Mount-Point] => /listen.mp3 
      [Stream-Title] => VibboStream
      [Stream-Description] => name 
      [Content-Type] => audio/mpeg
      [Mount-started] => 14/Jun/2016:04:28:49 -0500 
      [Bitrate] => 128
      [Current-Listeners] => 1 
      [Peak-Listeners] => 3 
      [Stream-Genre] => Various
      [Stream-URL] => http://url [ice-bitrate] => 128
      [icy-info] => ice-samplerate=44100;ice-bitrate=128;ice-channels=2
      [Current-Song] => Artist - Title
    )

So what I'm trying to get is the part [Current-Song] => Artist - Title. When I echo it I'd like to only see Artist - Title

Can someone help me with this?

You already have the xml object. Just use it.

$artistTitle = $xmlObj->{'Current-Song'};

And just use it from there.

More info on that curly brace syntax here

Don't worry about. Just always read the docs. If you ever find yourself thinking "there must be an easier way to do this" there probably is.
