Convert laravel object to array

UPDATE since version 5.4 of Laravel it is no longer possible.

You can change your db config, like @Varun suggested, or if you want to do it just in this very case, then:

DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);// thenDB::table(..)->get(); // array of arrays instead of objects// of course to revert the fetch mode you need to set it againDB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS);

For New Laravel above 5.4 (Ver > 5.4) see https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/upgrade fetch mode section

Event::listen(StatementPrepared::class, function ($event) {    $event->statement->setFetchMode(...);});

foreach($yourArrayName as $object){    $arrays[] = $object->toArray();}// Dump array with object-arraysdd($arrays);

Or when toArray() fails because it's a stdClass

foreach($yourArrayName as $object){    $arrays[] =  (array) $object;}// Dump array with object-arraysdd($arrays);

Not working? Maybe you can find your answer here:

Convert PHP object to associative array

Just in case somebody still lands here looking for an answer. It can be done using plain PHP. An easier way is to reverse-json the object.

function objectToArray(&$object){    return @json_decode(json_encode($object), true);}
