Yes we can use JSON functions to encode to JSON and then decode back to an array. This will not include private and protected members, however.
$array = json_decode(json_encode($object), true);
Alternatively, the following function will convert from an object to an array including private and protected members:
function objectToArray ($object) {
if(!is_object($object) && !is_array($object))
return $object;
return array_map('objectToArray', (array) $object);
}
The easiest way is to JSON-encode your object and then decode it back to an array:
$array = json_decode(json_encode($object), True);
Or if you prefer, you can traverse the object manually, too:
foreach ($object as $value) {
$array[] = $value->name;
}
Try it!
(array)?
