Catchable fatal error: Object of class DOMNodeList could not be converted to string

What am I doing wrong?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php $xml = new DOMDocument;

$xml->load('test.xml');



foreach($xml->getElementsByTagname('show') as $show)

    {

        echo $string = $show->getElementsByTagname('Name');

    }?>

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shows>
  <show id="1">
    <Name>CNN</Name>
    <time>1 pm</time>
  </show>
  <show id="2">
    <Name>BBC</Name>
    <time>12 pm</time>
  </show>
  <show id="3">
    <Name>ABS</Name>
    <time>3.45 pm</time>
  </show>
  <show id="4">
    <Name>HBO</Name>
    <time>10 am</time>
  </show>
  <show id="5">
    <Name>Tonight's Late Nighte</Name>
    <time>Mid night</time>
  </show>
</shows>

$string is not a string. It's a DOMNodeList, as the error message says. Try

PHP Code:


		
			
echo current($show->getElementsByTagName('Name'))->nodeValue;

or just using SimpleXML instead.
