Tags still remaining after using simplexml_load_string

[nxnvietnam]

I am using \[code\]simplexml_load_string\[/code\] for XML packets. In my scenario, the XML string I want to convert is known as k.My problem, however, is that when I use k, tags still remain that weren't parsed (\[code\]<k>, <\k>\[/code\]).For example, I use\[code\]$x->k\[/code\], and I get back \[code\]<k>DATA I WANT HERE<\EK>\[/code\].How do I get rid of these?What the code does: It connects to a game and logs in.
