[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Ok, thought i would let you people know i found the answer, it may help someone.

If i swap this line:

Code:

$desc_to_store = $loadxml->Descriptions->Description->Value;

with this

Code:

$desc_to_store = (string) $loadxml->Descriptions->Description->Value;

this now works:

Code:

$data = array('desc' => $desc_to_store);
$this->db->where('id', $id);
$this->db->update('lrhotel', $data);

$desc_to_store needed to be converted from an object to a string.
