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->post_id;

Very simple, first turn your object into a json object, this will return a string of your object into a JSON representative.
Take that result and decode with an extra parameter of true, where it will convert to associative array
$array = json_decode(json_encode($oObject),true);

The lazy one-liner method
You can do this in a one liner using the JSON methods if you're willing to lose a tiny bit of performance (though some have reported it being faster than iterating through the objects recursively - most likely because PHP is slow at calling functions). "But I already did this" you say. Not exactly - you used json_decode on the array, but you need to encode it with json_encode first.
Requirements
The json_encode and json_decode methods. These are automatically bundled in PHP 5.2.0 and up. If you use any older version there's also a PECL library (that said, in that case you should really update your PHP installation. Support for 5.1 stopped in 2006.)
Converting an array/stdClass -> stdClass
$stdClass = json_decode(json_encode($booking));
Converting an array/stdClass -> array
The manual specifies the second argument of json_decode as:
assoc
WhenTRUE, returned objects will be converted into associative arrays.
Hence the following line will convert your entire object into an array:
$array = json_decode(json_encode($booking), true);
use this function to get a standard array back of the type you are after...
return get_object_vars($booking);
You just add this code
$clasa = (object) array(
'e1' => array('nume' => 'Nitu', 'prenume' => 'Andrei', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 23),
'e2' => array('nume' => 'Nae', 'prenume' => 'Ionel', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 27),
'e3' => array('nume' => 'Noman', 'prenume' => 'Alice', 'sex' => 'f', 'varsta' => 22),
'e4' => array('nume' => 'Geangos', 'prenume' => 'Bogdan', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 23),
'e5' => array('nume' => 'Vasile', 'prenume' => 'Mihai', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 25)
);
If you want to see is this stdClass object just call this
print_r($clasa);
If you want to convert an array to object code will be
$arr = array('a'=>'apple','b'=>'ball');
$arr = (object) $arr;
You don't need to use stdClass. It will automatically converted to stdClass
The quick and dirty way is using json_encode and json_decode which will turn the entire array (including sub elements) into an object.
$clasa = json_decode(json_encode($clasa)); //Turn it into an object
The same can be used to convert an object into an array. Simply add , true to json_decode to return an associated array:
$clasa = json_decode(json_encode($clasa), true); //Turn it into an array
An alternate way (without being dirty) is simply a recursive function:
function convertToObject($array) {
$object = new stdClass();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$value = convertToObject($value);
}
$object->$key = $value;
}
return $object;
}
or in full code:
<?php
function convertToObject($array) {
$object = new stdClass();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$value = convertToObject($value);
}
$object->$key = $value;
}
return $object;
}
$clasa = array(
'e1' => array('nume' => 'Nitu', 'prenume' => 'Andrei', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 23),
'e2' => array('nume' => 'Nae', 'prenume' => 'Ionel', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 27),
'e3' => array('nume' => 'Noman', 'prenume' => 'Alice', 'sex' => 'f', 'varsta' => 22),
'e4' => array('nume' => 'Geangos', 'prenume' => 'Bogdan', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 23),
'e5' => array('nume' => 'Vasile', 'prenume' => 'Mihai', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 25)
);
$obj = convertToObject($clasa);
print_r($obj);
?>
which outputs (note that there's no arrays - only stdClass's):
stdClass Object
(
[e1] => stdClass Object
(
[nume] => Nitu
[prenume] => Andrei
[sex] => m
[varsta] => 23
)
[e2] => stdClass Object
(
[nume] => Nae
[prenume] => Ionel
[sex] => m
[varsta] => 27
)
[e3] => stdClass Object
(
[nume] => Noman
[prenume] => Alice
[sex] => f
[varsta] => 22
)
[e4] => stdClass Object
(
[nume] => Geangos
[prenume] => Bogdan
[sex] => m
[varsta] => 23
)
[e5] => stdClass Object
(
[nume] => Vasile
[prenume] => Mihai
[sex] => m
[varsta] => 25
)
)
So you'd refer to it by $obj->e5->nume.
DEMO
Cast it to an array:
$array = (array)$stdClass;
If you're using json_decode to convert that JSON string into an object, you can use the second parameter json_decode($string, true) and that will convert the object to an associative array.
If not, what everybody else has said and just type cast it
$array = (array) $stdClass;
Use json_encode() and json_decode()
$arr = json_decode(json_encode($yourObject), TRUE);
json_decode() 's second parameter is set to TRUE.
Function definition:
mixed json_decode ( string $json [, bool $assoc = false [, int $depth > = 512 [, int $options = 0 ]]] )
That will convert your object into an associative array.
Finally I did it this:
$options = array('' => '<select>');
$results = $query->execute()->fetchAll();
foreach($results as $id => $node) {
$value = $node->title;
$options[$value] = $value;
}
