SimpleXML check SimpleXML object exists

I am using an if statement to check whether an XML object exists, but it does not work well as I get trying to get property of non-object error

below is the code

foreach($resp->GetLowestOfferListingsForASINResult as $product){
   $isbn = "";
   $price = "";
   $condition = "";

   if($product->Product->Identifiers->MarketplaceASIN->ASIN){
      $isbn = (string) $product->Product->Identifiers->MarketplaceASIN->ASIN;
   }

   if($product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing->Price->LandedPrice->Amount){
      $price = (float) $product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing->Price->LandedPrice->Amount;
   }

   if($product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing->Qualifiers->ItemSubcondition){
      $condition = (string) $product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing->Qualifiers->ItemSubcondition;
   }
}

I have tried using 

if(!property_exists($product, 'Amount')){
   $price = (float) $product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing->Price->LandedPrice->Amount;
}

but that does not work, what should I be using

xml returned result (if price exists)

Your problem here is that you are testing too far into the chain of -> operators:

if ( $product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing->Price->LandedPrice->Amount )

In order to even test this, PHP must evaluate each of the -> operators in turn

  1. $product->Product [OK]
  2. $product->Product->LowestOfferListings [OK]
  3. $product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing [An empty set if there are no prices]
  4. $product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing->Price [Undefined]
  5. After this, you're already too late.

Additionally, the SimpleXML object won't evaluate to false even if it's an empty list, so you do need to use isset. In order to spot the no-price situation, you therefore need this:

if ( isset($product->Product->LowestOfferListings->LowestOfferListing) )

[Note: I haven't actually tested the above, so I may have gone wrong in some specific, but I'm pretty sure this is your basic problem.]
