Convert all Objects in Array to Array

Question

I have some values that grab off an API and store them into an array $data for insertion into my tables. However, I seem to have objects within the array $data, which seems kind of messy. Is it possible to convert all the contents of array $data into array elements?

PHP Code

$data['title'] = $item->ItemAttributes->Title;
$data['brand'] = $item->ItemAttributes->Brand;
$data['color'] = $item->ItemAttributes->Color;
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);

Output

stdClass Object
(
    [title] => stdClass Object
        (
            [0] => La Martina Polo Shirt Scotland Polo, Color: Black, Size: L
        )

    [brand] => stdClass Object
        (
            [0] => La Martina
        )

    [color] => stdClass Object
        (
            [0] => Black
        )

)

And what is $data ? Was it initialized as an array ? Can you recreate the problem on codepad.viper-7.com ? — tereško

As you might notices in this example, what you have there is not an array. — tereško

Somehow it became an array. I did not initialize it as an array though, maybe thats why when I pushed an object into $data using $data[] = $obj, $data becomes an array — Nyxynyx

No, $item is not an array, because you are calling $item->ItemAttributes->Title;. — tereško

$array = get_object_vars($object);

If the members are protected or private, do it from inside the class.

If you aren't going to define a specific class, use reflection.

I dont get you properly but if you do something like this

$data['title'] =(string)$item->ItemAttributes->Title;
$data['brand'] =(string)$item->ItemAttributes->Brand;
$data['color'] = (string)$item->ItemAttributes->Color;

.. might lead you to something like below:-

{'title'=>'some title','brand'=>,'color'=>'something'}

But I am not sure if that is what you want
