Conversion of nested stdclassobject to a double dimensional array - php

Question

How to convert a double std class object i.e (stdclass object having again a stdclass object in it) into an array?
I have user type; casting it only converted the single object but the object inside remained same.
Data:
Array ( [activities] => Array ( ) [goals] => stdClass Object (
[activeMinutes] => 30 [caloriesOut] => 3355
[distance] => 8.05 [steps] => 10000 )
[summary] => stdClass Object ( [activeScore] => -1 [activityCalories]
=> 1472 [caloriesBMR] => 2074 [caloriesOut] => 3308
[distances] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [activity] => total [distance] => 8.46 ) [1] => stdClass
Object ( [activity] => tracker [distance] => 8.46 )
[2] => stdClass Object (
[activity] => loggedActivities [distance] => 0 )
[3] => stdClass Object (
[activity] => veryActive [distance] => 2.35 )
[4] => stdClass Object (
[activity] => moderatelyActive [distance] => 1.63 )
[5] => stdClass Object (
[activity] => lightlyActive [distance] => 4.48 )
[6] => stdClass Object ( [activity] => sedentaryActive [distance] => 0 ) )
[fairlyActiveMinutes] => 32
[lightlyActiveMinutes] => 194 [marginalCalories] => 867 [sedentaryMinutes] =>
1125 [steps] => 11446 [veryActiveMinutes] => 31 ) )
This data has stdclass object inside an array how to convert that also into an array and make it on the whole as a double dimensional array.

Answer 1

I guess you have something like:
<?php
$a = [
'foo' => (object)[
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'foo',
],
'bar' => (object)[
'id' => 2,
'name' => 'bar',
'nested' => (object)['status' => 'ok'],
],
];
var_export($a);
Result:
array (
'foo' =>
stdClass::__set_state(array(
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'foo',
)),
'bar' =>
stdClass::__set_state(array(
'id' => 2,
'name' => 'bar',
'nested' =>
stdClass::__set_state(array(
'status' => 'ok',
)),
)),
)
And you try to receive something like:
array (
'foo' =>
array (
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'foo',
),
'bar' =>
array (
'id' => 2,
'name' => 'bar',
'nested' =>
array (
'status' => 'ok',
),
),
)
So the best way done it - is like mentioned #MineshPatel use next code:
var_export(json_decode(json_encode($a), true));
