Question

Following this question, I use this function to convert arrays to objects,

function array_to_object($array)
{
    if(!is_array($array)) {
        return $array;
    }

    $object = new stdClass();
    foreach($array as $key => $value)
    {
        $key = (string) $key ;
        $object->$key = is_array($value) ? array_to_object($value) : $value;
    }
    return $object;
}

So,

$obj =  array('qualitypoint', 'technologies', 'India');

result,

stdClass Object
(
    [0] => qualitypoint
    [1] => technologies
    [2] => India
)

But now I need to convert the object back to an array so that I can get this result,

Array
(
    [0] => qualitypoint
    [1] => technologies
    [2] => India
)

is it possible?

Answer 1

Another way to achieve this is:

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

When I tested, I had no problems with inaccessible properties.

Update: It also works with

$object = new stdClass();
$object->{0} = 'qualitypoint';
$object->{1} = 'technologies';
$object->{2} = 'India';
