Unexpected simple simplexmlelement error

When trying to access the simplexmlelement with PHP (second below). I use the following code $candidate->result->recorddetail->FL[0] and expect to be returned 2972941000000380012, but reach the (first below). I just need to reach this data = 2972941000000380012; Thank you

edit: when I access the FL array it doesn't just return the position i want.

    SimpleXMLElement {#360
  +"@attributes": array:1 [
    "val" => "Id"
  ]
  +0: "2972941000000380012"
}

when I return the string about, instead of reaching the destination I am received the second code block;

    SimpleXMLElement {#357
  +"@attributes": array:1 [
    "uri" => "/crm/private/xml/Contacts/insertRecords"
  ]
  +"result": SimpleXMLElement {#352
    +"message": "Record(s) updated successfully"
    +"recorddetail": SimpleXMLElement {#355
      +"FL": array:5 [
        0 => "2972941000000380012"
        1 => "2018-01-17 14:39:17"
        2 => "2018-01-17 15:11:49"
        3 => SimpleXMLElement {#368
          +"@attributes": array:1 [
            "val" => "Created By"
          ]
        }
        4 => SimpleXMLElement {#369
          +"@attributes": array:1 [
            "val" => "Modified By"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

When you use (for example)...

$x = $candidate->result->recorddetail->FL[0];

This assigns the SimpleXMLElement and not the element value, which is what you really want. You can fetch the value by casting this to a string, which will just return the elements content...

$x = (string)$candidate->result->recorddetail->FL[0];
