Converting array and objects in array to pure array [duplicate]

Question

My array is like:

Array (     [0] => stdClass Object         (             [id] => 1             [name] => demo1         )     [1] => stdClass Object         (             [id] => 2             [name] => demo2         )     [2] => stdClass Object         (             [id] => 6             [name] => otherdemo         ) ) 

How can I convert the whole array (including objects) to a pure multi-dimensional array?

Answer 1

Have you tried typecasting?

$array = (array) $object; 

There is another trick actually

$json  = json_encode($object); $array = json_decode($json, true); 

You can have more info here json_decode in the PHP manual, the second parameter is called assoc:

assoc

When TRUE, returned objects will be converted into associative arrays.

Which is exactly what you're looking for.

Answer 2

Just use this :

json_decode(json_encode($yourArray), true);
