Careful    array    array   object    does a shallow conversion   object- innerObject   new stdClass   remains an object  and converting back and forth using json works but it s not a good idea if performance is an issue   If you need all objects to be converted to associative arrays here is a better way to do that  code ripped from I don t remember where    function toArray  obj        if  is object  obj    obj    array  obj      if  is array  obj              new   array            foreach   obj as  key   gt   val                 new  key    toArray  val                   else            new    obj             return  new

Single-dimensional arrays  For converting single-dimension arrays  you can cast using  array  or there s get object vars  which Benoit mentioned in  his answer      Cast to an array  array    array   object         get object vars  array   get object vars  object     They work slightly different from each other   For example  get object vars will return an array with only publicly accessible properties unless it is called from within the scope of the object you re passing  ie in a member function of the object     array   on the other hand  will cast to an array with all public  private and protected members intact on the array  though all public now  of course   Multi-dimensional arrays  A somewhat dirty method is to use PHP    5 2 s native JSON functions to encode to JSON and then decode back to an array   This will not include private and protected members  however  and is not suitable for objects that contain data that cannot be JSON encoded  such as binary data       The second parameter of json decode forces parsing into an associative array  array   json decode json encode  object   true     Alternatively  the following function will convert from an object to an array including private and protected members  taken from here and modified to use casting   function objectToArray   object        if  is object  object   amp  amp   is array  object           return  object       return array map  objectToArray    array   object

I ran into an issue with Andy Earnshaw s answer because I had factored this function out to a separate class within my application   HelperFunctions   which meant the recursive call to objectToArray   failed   I overcame this by specifying the class name within the array map call like so   public function objectToArray  object        if   is object  object   amp  amp   is array  object           return  object      return array map array  HelperFunctions    objectToArray     array   object       I would have written this in the comments but I don t have enough reputation yet

You should look at get object vars   as your properties are declared private you should call this inside the class and return its results    Be careful  for primitive data types like strings it will  work great  but I don t know how it behaves with nested objects   in your case you have to do something like    lt  php    print r get object vars  response- gt response- gt docs      gt

I had the same problem and I solved it with get object vars mentioned above   Furthermore  I had to convert my object with json decode and I had to iterate the array with the oldschool  for  loop  rather then for-each
