Laravel Cart session returns Object instead of Array, how can I convert the object to an array?

Question

I am having trouble the last couple of days figuring this out, i tried googling and every answer I come across doesn't fix my problem

I am storing array of items in the cart but when retrieving the array, it's an object.

I want to be able to convert the object to an array.

Here is my code for storing the array in the cart session

$cart[$id] = [
        "product_id" => $id,
        "name" => $product->product_name,
        "quantity" => $quantity,
        "total" => $total,
    ];

    $request->session()->put('cart', $cart);

but after I get the data from the cart it becomes an object

$cart = $request->session('cart');

I want to either convert this object back to array or retrieve the cart session data as array in the first place

Are you sure $request->session('cart'); is a valid thing to do? The docs mention either $request->session()->get('cart'); or session('cart') but not this syntax — apokryfos

This may solve your problem;

$request->session()->get('cart')
