more similar type of values in a single name but associative array is different from a simple PHP array. An array which contains string index is called associative array. It stores element values in association with key values rather than in linear index order. $myArray = json_decode(json_encode($object), true); Example: php
Output: Before conversion: object(sample)#1 (2) { ["var1"]=> int(1000) ["var2"]=> string(6) "second" } After conversion: array(2) { ["var1"]=> int(1000) ["var2"]=> string(6) "second" } Method 2: Type Casting object to an array: Typecasting is the way to utilize one data type variable into the different data type and it is simply the explicit conversion of a data type. It can
convert a PHP object to an array by using typecasting rules supported in PHP. $myArray = (array) $myObj; Example: php
Output: Before conversion : object(bag)#1 (3) { ["item1"]=> string(6) "Mobile" ["item2"]=> string(7) "Charger" ["item3"]=> string(5) "Cable" } After conversion : array(3) { ["item1"]=> string(6) "Mobile" ["item2"]=> string(7) "Charger" ["item3"]=> string(5) "Cable" } PHP is a server-side scripting language designed specifically for web development.
