Question

I’m using curl to fetch some data from a website. After I process it I manage to get it to this state:

Array ( 
[GraphicRiver] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object 
    ( 
        [id] => 698515 
        [item] => Alien Icons Set 
        [url] => http://graphicriver.net/item/alien-icons-set/698515 
        [user] => chaoscod3r 
        [thumbnail] => http://2.s3.envato.com/files/23574322/Thumb.jpg 
        [sales] => 5 
        [rating] => 0 
        [cost] => 5.00 
        [uploaded_on] => Mon Oct 24 17:16:20 +1100 2011 
        [tags] => alien icons, clean icons, easy editing, icons pack, minimalist icons pack, resizable, simple icons, vector icons, vector shapes 
        [category] => icons/miscellaneous 
        [live_preview_url] => http://3.s3.envato.com/files/23574321/Preview.jpg 
    )
)

)

but what I want to have instead of that stdClass Object is Array, so how do I rewrite this kind of array to make that object and array ?

This is the method I’m using to get what’s above:

public function all_items_by_site($user_name) {

  $items_by_marketplace = $this->user_items_by_site($user_name);

  $marketplaces = array();

  $items = array();

  foreach ($items_by_marketplace as $key) {
     $marketplaces[] = array(
        'Marketplace'  => $key->site,
        'Items'        => $key->items
     );
  }

  foreach ($marketplaces as $key) {
     $items[$key['Marketplace']] = $this->new_files_from_user($user_name, $key['Marketplace']);
  }

  return $items;

}

I’m using this api wrapper as base api wrapper for what I want to develop: https://github.com/JeffreyWay/Envato-Marketplace-API-Wrapper-in-PHP .

You can easily cast stdClass objects to an array:

$array = (array)$object;

In your concrete case that would be:

foreach ($array['GraphicRiver'] as &$item) {
    $item = (array)$item;
}
unset($item);
