I'm using amazon product advertising api. Values are returned as a multidimensional objects.
It looks like this:
object(AmazonProduct_Result)#222 (5) { ["_code":protected]=> int(200) ["_data":protected]=> string(16538) array(2) { ["IsValid"]=> string(4) "True" ["Items"]=> array(1) { [0]=> object(AmazonProduct_Item)#19 (1) { ["_values":protected]=> array(11) { ["ASIN"]=> string(10) "B005HNF01O" ["ParentASIN"]=> string(10) "B008RKEIZ8" ["DetailPageURL"]=> string(120) "http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-TBC-302-FFP-Compact/dp/B005HNF01O?SubscriptionId=AKIAJNFRQCIJLTY6LDTA&tag=*********-20" ["ItemLinks"]=> array(7) { [0]=> object(AmazonProduct_ItemLink)#18 (1) { ["_values":protected]=> array(2) { ["Description"]=> string(17) "Technical Details" ["URL"]=> string(217) "http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-TBC-302-FFP-Compact/dp/tech-data/B005HNF01O%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJNFRQCIJLTY6LDTA%26tag%*******-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3DB005HNF01O" } } [1]=> object(AmazonProduct_ItemLink)#17 (1) { ["_values":protected]=> array(2) { I mean it also has array inside objects. I would like to convert all of them into a multidimensional array.

Converting an object to an array with typecasting technique: php class bag { public function __construct( $item1, $item2, $item3){ $this->item1 = $item1; $this->item2 =$item2; $this->item3 = $item3; } } $myBag = new bag("Books", "Ball", "Pens"); echo "Before conversion :".
A combination of PHP's JSON encode and decode functions can magically do the conversion. $obj = json_decode(json_encode($array)); First, the json_encode($array) converts the entire multi-dimensional array to a JSON string. Then the json_decode($string) will convert the JSON string to a stdClass object.
A multidimensional array or object is one that has one or more nested arrays or objects as property values.
I know this is old but you could try the following piece of code:
$array = json_decode(json_encode($object), true);
where $object is the response of the API.
