comparing two XML->objects

[Kevin Blount]

I'm getting data from an XML file using this method:

$name = $xml->user_info->user['name'];
$nickname = $xml->user_info->user['nickname'];

&

$age = $xml->user_info->user['age'];
$shoe_size = $xml->user_info->user['show_size'];

I want to compare name & nickname, and age & shoe_size, but I can't
figure out how, as all 4 are objects.

Basically I want to know if age show_size or name == nickname.

How would I do that?

I tried:
if ($age $shoesize)
{
echo "age is higher";
}
else
{
echo "shoesize is higher";
}

but it ALWAYS comes out as "shoesize is higher", mostly I think
because I'm comparing objects, not integers. I just can't find out how
to convert the obj to an int, or compare two like-typed objects.

Why wouldn't you just do this:

if($xml->user_info->user['age'] $xml->user_info->user['shoe_size'])

Also notice that I used 'shoe_size' instead of 'show_size' -- may be
your typo, or it might not.
