convert std object array to simple php array - php

Question

my code so far
<?php
foreach($sub_category as $row2){
$url = 'https://myurl.com';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 3);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $name." data = "."<pre>"; print_r($data);
}
?>
This is $data output
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[course_title] => 60+ Space Facts To Get An A In Astronomy
[description] => 60+ Space Facts To Get An "A" In Astronomy
[image] => pexels-pixabay-39896_20210220014840929292735.jpg
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[course_title] => Learn Chinese
[description] => Learn Chinese
[image] => Chinoabc_20211227114307692406780.png
)
)
I want to convert it to look like below

i have tried many answers from here
converting array of objects to simple array
but it's not working for me

Answer 1

You can use the (array) type cast to convert an object to an equivalent associative array.
$data = array_map(function($x) { return (array)$x; }, $data);
If the original array of objects came from using json_decode(), you can tell it to return associative arrays instead of objects by giving it a true second argument.
$data = json_decode($data, true);
