将php对象转换为关联数组

Question

I am trying to read the following php object result of an api call into an associative array. Has someone done this before or can otherwise help me?

I have tried object var dump, and array casting, but this just doesnt seems to work. I know I am doing something fundamentally wrong. Can someone help?

Many thanks.

Answer 1

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;
}
