simplexml & php: read a node's value

Question

I'm running this code in php

$xml = simplexml_load_file("test_info.xml");
$xml_image = $xml->channel->userinfo->image;

test_info.xml:

<channel>
 <userinfo>
  <image>somewhere</image>
 </userinfo>
</channel>

it should return -somewhere- as it's <image>'s content, but it's returning a blank output. What am I doing wrong? I cant find anything better.

Leave out <channel>, it's represented by $xml.

$xml_image = $xml->userinfo->image;
