Convert laravel object to array
(14 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
i queried a DB like this which got me an array:
foreach($oid as $orderid) {
$orderdetailData[] = DB::table('order_details')
->join('orders', 'order_details.oid', '=', 'orders.oid')
->select('order_details.oid', 'orders.ostatus')
->where('order_details.oid', $orderid)->get();
}
$data = array_flatten($orderdetailData);
return $data;
This is the array i get
array (size=2)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[174]
public 'oid' => int 1
public 'ostatus' => string 'Placed' (length=6)
1 =>
object(stdClass)[158]
public 'oid' => int 2
public 'ostatus' => string 'Placed' (length=6)
I am trying to get this array in the form
array (size=2)
0 =>
array (size=2)
public 'oid' => int 1
public 'ostatus' => string 'Placed' (length=6)
1 =>
array (size=2)
public 'oid' => int 2
public 'ostatus' => string 'Placed' (length=6)
I tried doing this:
foreach($orderdetailData as $key => $value){
$data[] = array_flatten($orderdetailData[$key]);
}
But doing this gets me an array in this form:
array (size=2)
0 =>
array (size=1)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[174]
public 'oid' => int 1
public 'ostatus' => string 'Placed' (length=6)
1 =>
array (size=1)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[158]
public 'oid' => int 2
public 'ostatus' => string 'Placed' (length=6)
Which is not i what i am looking for. Can someone tell me what would be an easy way to do this ? Thanks

Answer 1

Using array_map and casting to an array should be sufficient:
$data = array_map(function($object){
return (array) $object;
}, $data);
I also wouldn't run queries inside a loop. You should try getting that data in one query from the db. Something like this could work:
$data = DB::table('order_details')
->join('orders', 'order_details.oid', '=', 'orders.oid')
->select('order_details.oid', 'orders.ostatus')
->whereIn('order_details.oid', $oid)->get();
Edit
As it has been mentioned in another answer shortly let me explain how you can accomplish the same by setting PDO to FETCH_ASSOC:
DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$data = DB::table('order_details') .... ->get();
However this changes the fetch mode globally for the rest of the request (at least if you don't open a new connection). To be save you should change it back afterwards:
DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$data = DB::table('order_details') .... ->get();
DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS);
Or even back it up first if you can't be sure what default is used:
$fetchModeBefore = DB::getFetchMode();
DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$data = DB::table('order_details') .... ->get();
DB::setFetchMode($fetchModeBefore);

Answer 2

On the PDO/DB object you can set the return style to assoc.
