Convert PHP Object to XML

[toskers25]

I have a PHP object that I'd like to convert to XML so that I can use SimpleXML to run an xpath on the data.

Can someone suggest some way to do this?

Basically, I have the following PHP object and I need to be able to search for certin nodes and bring back the information in them. The easiest way I could think of was xpath using SimpleXML. I'm open to other ideas.
