Convert a PHP Object to an Associative Array

Convert a PHP object to an associative array

Just typecast it

$array = (array) $yourObject;

From Arrays:

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 \0s edited in for clarity):

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

Output with var_export instead of var_dump:

array (
  '' . "\0" . 'Foo' . "\0" . 'foo' => 1,
  '' . "\0" . '*' . "\0" . '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.

PHP: Convert Object to Associative Array with Object Property as Key

It appears by "object" you mean a JSON object. Given that, you can use array_column() to pull out a single column from each row, and then array_combine() to use one column for the keys and another for the values:

$json = '[
    { "id": 2, "name": "Suzy" },
    { "id": 3, "name": "Joe" },
    { "id": 4, "name": "Sara" }
]';
$array = json_decode($json, true);
$out = array_combine(array_column($array, 'id'), array_column($array, 'name'));
print_r($out);

Yields:

Array
(
    [2] => Suzy
    [3] => Joe
    [4] => Sara
)

convert array with objects to one associative array without foreach

You can use array_reduce

$myArray = array_reduce($initialArray, function ($result, $item) {
    $item = (array) $item;

    $key = $item['key'];
    unset($item['key']);

    $result[$key] = $item;

    return $result;
}, array());

Converting a php object into associative array

First solution:

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

Second solution:

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;

    endif;

    return $data;
}

Convert Object To Associative Array In Laravel

In Laravel, you can use Laravel Collection helper functions. Here is the example for this:-

$arr = [
    "284" =>  "Khaki's with Black polo shirt (no logo)",
    "286" => "Black pants with Yellow shirt",
    "349" => "Black pants with white collared shirt",
    "705" => "See 'Details' Section for Dress Attire"
];
$collection = collect($arr);
$multiplied = $collection->map(function ($name, $key) {
    return [
        "id" => $key,
        "name" => $name
    ];
});
dd($multiplied->values()->toArray());

I think this will help you.

How to convert an array to object in PHP?

This one worked for me

  function array_to_obj($array, &$obj)
  {
    foreach ($array as $key => $value)
    {
      if (is_array($value))
      {
      $obj->$key = new stdClass();
      array_to_obj($value, $obj->$key);
      }
      else
      {
        $obj->$key = $value;
      }
    }
  return $obj;
  }

function arrayToObject($array)
{
 $object= new stdClass();
 return array_to_obj($array,$object);
}

usage :

$myobject = arrayToObject($array);
print_r($myobject);

returns :

    [127] => stdClass Object
        (
            [status] => Have you ever created a really great looking website design
        )

    [128] => stdClass Object
        (
            [status] => Figure A.
 Facebook's horizontal scrollbars showing up on a 1024x768 screen resolution.
        )

    [129] => stdClass Object
        (
            [status] => The other day at work, I had some spare time
        )

like usual you can loop it like:

foreach($myobject as $obj)
{
  echo $obj->status;
}
