Convert PHP object to associative array

I'm integrating an API to my website which works with data stored in objects while my code is written using arrays.

I'd like a quick and dirty function to convert an object to an array.


Just typecast it

$array =  (array) $yourObject;

From http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

If an object is converted to an array, the result is an array whose elements are the object's properties. The keys are the member variable names, with a few notable exceptions: integer properties are unaccessible; private variables have the class name prepended to the variable name; protected variables have a '*' prepended to the variable name. These prepended values have null bytes on either side.

Example: Simple Object

$object = new StdClass;
$object->foo = 1;
$object->bar = 2;

var_dump( (array) $object );

Output:

array(2) {
  'foo' => int(1)
  'bar' => int(2)
} 

Example: Complex Object

class Foo
{
    private $foo;
    protected $bar;
    public $baz;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->foo = 1;
        $this->bar = 2;
        $this->baz = new StdClass;
    }
}

var_dump( (array) new Foo );

Output (with s edited in for clarity):

array(3) {
  'Foofoo' => int(1)
  '*bar' => int(2)
  'baz' => class stdClass#2 (0) {}
}

Output with var_export instead of var_dump :

array (
  '' . "" . 'Foo' . "" . 'foo' => 1,
  '' . "" . '*' . "" . 'bar' => 2,
  'baz' => 
  stdClass::__set_state(array(
  )),
)

Typecasting this way will not do deep casting of the object graph and you need to apply the null bytes (as explained in the manual quote) to access any non-public attributes. So this works best when casting StdClass objects or objects with only public properties. For quick and dirty (what you asked for) it's fine.

  • 您可以通过依赖JSON编码/解码函数的行为将深度嵌套对象快速转换为关联数组:

    $array = json_decode(json_encode($nested_object), true);
    

    From the first Google hit for "php object to assoc array" we have this:

    function object_to_array($data)
    {
        if (is_array($data) || is_object($data))
        {
            $result = array();
            foreach ($data as $key => $value)
            {
                $result[$key] = object_to_array($value);
            }
            return $result;
        }
        return $data;
    }
