如何将字符串作为stdClass对象转换为数组[PHP]

Question

I'm coding a login system using API. i'm stuck with the result that i got using the API. I got the result as normal string like this:

stdClass Object
(
    [success] => 1
    [message] => Array
        (
            [code] => 000
            [txt] => Operation successful
        )

    [data] => Array
        (
            [result] => OK
            [accountID] => 000000000
            [group] => demoCAC
            [currency] => USD
            [enable] => 1
            [read_only] => 0
            [name] => Bogus Demo
            [country] => ****
            [city] => 
            [address] => 
            [phone] => **
            [email] => ***@gmail.com
            [status] => test
            [regdate] => 07/02/2017 09:57
            [lastdate] => 07/02/2017 09:57
            [balance] => 0.00
            [credit] => 0.00
            [equity] => 10000.00
            [isDemo] => 1
            [tp_version] => **
            [last_name] => Demo
            [first_name] => Bogus
            [domain] => ***.com
            [compliance] => 
            [latestTrades] => Array
                (
                    [results] => Array
                        (
                        )

                    [totalResults] => 0
                )

            [owner] => 
        )
    )

So how can i convert it to an array or useable variable ? * This information printed by ( echo ), and i can't access $result -> data ->... is there a function that convert this string to array or json or something readable so i can reach to specific value? when i try : print_r(get_object_vars($result)); i get this error:

Warning: get_object_vars() expects parameter 1 to be object, string given in /home/**/public_html/crm/profile.php on line 20

Unless Im missing something, your problem is a simple one.

looking at the guts of your var_dump, you should be able to access the index in your question like:

$result->data['email'];  // where 'email' is the key of the data.

or

$result->data['latestTrades']['results']; // nested example.

all the properties of a standard class are public, and so can be accessed directly. And in your example, all of them contain an array, or nested array so can be accessed by their key.
