SimpleXMLElement access Array

Simple question but it's really causing me problems!

I have a var dump as follows; how do I access the array ["slot_id"] and get it as an actual array? I've tried $object->slot_id, $object['slot_id'] and $object[0] with no success. I think I'm just missing something ^_^

object(SimpleXMLElement)#17 (1) {
  ["slot_id"]=>
  array(143) {
    [0]=>
    string(2) "41"
    [1]=>
    string(2) "42"
    [2]=>
    string(2) "43"
    ....

SimpleXML does not implement the ArrayAccess iterator, unfortunately. There are several code samples in the comments of the php.net documentation page for how to get a SimpleXML object as an array, but I've found it frustrating enough to avoid using it when possible. I have not tried any of these myself, so your mileage may vary.
