同样值得注意的是，还可以使用json_decode()创建stdClass对象。

请记住，两个空的stdclass并不是严格相等的。在编写嘲弄期望时，这一点非常重要。

php > $a = new stdClass();
php > $b = new stdClass();
php > var_dump($a === $b);
bool(false)
php > var_dump($a == $b);
bool(true)
php > var_dump($a);
object(stdClass)#1 (0) {
}
php > var_dump($b);
object(stdClass)#2 (0) {
}
php >

你也可以使用object将数组强制转换为你选择的对象:

Class Example
{
   public $name;
   public $age;
}

现在要创建一个Example类型的对象并初始化它，你可以做以下任何一件事:

$example = new Example();
$example->name = "some name";
$example->age = 22;

OR

$example = new Example();
$example = (object) ['name' => "some name", 'age' => 22];

第二种方法主要用于初始化具有许多属性的对象。

同样值得注意的是，还可以使用json_decode()创建stdClass对象。

php.net手册有一些可靠的解释和例子，用户贡献的stdClass是什么，我特别喜欢这个http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php#92123, https://stackoverflow.com/a/1434375/2352773。

stdClass is the default PHP object. stdClass has no properties, methods or parent. It does not support magic methods, and implements no interfaces. When you cast a scalar or array as Object, you get an instance of stdClass. You can use stdClass whenever you need a generic object instance. stdClass is NOT a base class! PHP classes do not automatically inherit from any class. All classes are standalone, unless they explicitly extend another class. PHP differs from many object-oriented languages in this respect. You could define a class that extends stdClass, but you would get no benefit, as stdClass does nothing.

stdClass只是一个通用的“空”类，用于将其他类型强制转换为对象。不管其他两个答案怎么说，stdClass不是PHP中对象的基类。这很容易证明:

class Foo{}
$foo = new Foo();
echo ($foo instanceof stdClass)?'Y':'N';
// outputs 'N'

我不相信PHP中有基对象的概念
