    if($xmlobj = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents($xml_feed)))
{
    $result = $xmlobj->xpath("TrafficMeta");
}
    PHP:
    The above code returns the desired result and when viewed with print_r it shows this, which is what I want to get (sessionId): 
    Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [sessionId] => tbfm1t45xplzrongbtbdyfa5 ) )
    PHP:
    How can I make this sessionId into a string?

    You might need to do something like this:

    $id = $result->sessionId;

    Since this is an object not an array.
