首先，如果你需要一个来自对象的数组，你可能应该首先将数据构成一个数组。想想看。

不要使用foreach语句或JSON转换。如果您计划这样做，同样是在处理数据结构，而不是对象。

如果你真的需要它，可以使用面向对象的方法来获得干净和可维护的代码。例如:

对象作为数组

class PersonArray implements \ArrayAccess, \IteratorAggregate
{
    public function __construct(Person $person) {
        $this->person = $person;
    }
    // ...
 }

如果你需要所有的属性，使用一个传输对象:

class PersonTransferObject
{
    private $person;

    public function __construct(Person $person) {
        $this->person = $person;
    }

    public function toArray() {
        return [
            // 'name' => $this->person->getName();
        ];
    }

 }

下面是将PHP对象转换为关联数组的递归PHP函数:

// ---------------------------------------------------------
// ----- object_to_array_recursive --- function (PHP) ------
// ---------------------------------------------------------
// --- arg1: -- $object  =  PHP Object         - required --
// --- arg2: -- $assoc   =  TRUE or FALSE      - optional --
// --- arg3: -- $empty   =  '' (Empty String)  - optional --
// ---------------------------------------------------------
// ----- Return: Array from Object --- (associative) -------
// ---------------------------------------------------------

function object_to_array_recursive($object, $assoc=TRUE, $empty='')
{
    $res_arr = array();

    if (!empty($object)) {

        $arrObj = is_object($object) ? get_object_vars($object) : $object;

        $i=0;
        foreach ($arrObj as $key => $val) {
            $akey = ($assoc !== FALSE) ? $key : $i;
            if (is_array($val) || is_object($val)) {
                $res_arr[$akey] = (empty($val)) ? $empty : object_to_array_recursive($val);
            }
            else {
                $res_arr[$akey] = (empty($val)) ? $empty : (string)$val;
            }
            $i++;
        }
    }
    return $res_arr;
}

// ---------------------------------------------------------
// ---------------------------------------------------------

使用的例子:

// ---- Return associative array from object, ... use:
$new_arr1 = object_to_array_recursive($my_object);
// -- or --
// $new_arr1 = object_to_array_recursive($my_object, TRUE);
// -- or --
// $new_arr1 = object_to_array_recursive($my_object, 1);


// ---- Return numeric array from object, ... use:
$new_arr2 = object_to_array_recursive($my_object, FALSE);

自定义函数将stdClass转换为数组:

function objectToArray($d) {
    if (is_object($d)) {
        // Gets the properties of the given object
        // with get_object_vars function
        $d = get_object_vars($d);
    }

    if (is_array($d)) {
        /*
        * Return array converted to object
        * Using __FUNCTION__ (Magic constant)
        * for recursive call
        */
        return array_map(__FUNCTION__, $d);
    } else {
        // Return array
        return $d;
    }
}

另一个将Array转换为stdClass的自定义函数:

function arrayToObject($d) {
    if (is_array($d)) {
        /*
        * Return array converted to object
        * Using __FUNCTION__ (Magic constant)
        * for recursive call
        */
        return (object) array_map(__FUNCTION__, $d);
    } else {
        // Return object
        return $d;
    }
}

使用的例子:

// Create new stdClass Object
$init = new stdClass;

// Add some test data
$init->foo = "Test data";
$init->bar = new stdClass;
$init->bar->baaz = "Testing";
$init->bar->fooz = new stdClass;
$init->bar->fooz->baz = "Testing again";
$init->foox = "Just test";

// Convert array to object and then object back to array
$array = objectToArray($init);
$object = arrayToObject($array);

// Print objects and array
print_r($init);
echo "\n";
print_r($array);
echo "\n";
print_r($object);

如果你的对象属性是公共的，你可以这样做:

$array =  (array) $object;

如果它们是私有的或受保护的，它们在数组上的键名就会很奇怪。因此，在这种情况下，你将需要以下函数:

function dismount($object) {
    $reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass(get_class($object));
    $array = array();
    foreach ($reflectionClass->getProperties() as $property) {
        $property->setAccessible(true);
        $array[$property->getName()] = $property->getValue($object);
        $property->setAccessible(false);
    }
    return $array;
}

我使用这个(需要递归解决适当的关键字):

    /**
     * This method returns the array corresponding to an object, including non public members.
     *
     * If the deep flag is true, is will operate recursively, otherwise (if false) just at the first level.
     *
     * @param object $obj
     * @param bool $deep = true
     * @return array
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public static function objectToArray(object $obj, bool $deep = true)
    {
        $reflectionClass = new \ReflectionClass(get_class($obj));
        $array = [];
        foreach ($reflectionClass->getProperties() as $property) {
            $property->setAccessible(true);
            $val = $property->getValue($obj);
            if (true === $deep && is_object($val)) {
                $val = self::objectToArray($val);
            }
            $array[$property->getName()] = $val;
            $property->setAccessible(false);
        }
        return $array;
    }

用法示例，代码如下:

class AA{
    public $bb = null;
    protected $one = 11;

}

class BB{
    protected $two = 22;
}


$a = new AA();
$b = new BB();
$a->bb = $b;

var_dump($a)

将打印这个:

array(2) {
  ["bb"] => array(1) {
    ["two"] => int(22)
  }
  ["one"] => int(11)
}

当你从数据库中以对象的形式获取数据时，你可能想这样做:

// Suppose 'result' is the end product from some query $query

$result = $mysqli->query($query);
$result = db_result_to_array($result);

function db_result_to_array($result)
{
    $res_array = array();

    for ($count=0; $row = $result->fetch_assoc(); $count++)
        $res_array[$count] = $row;

    return $res_array;
}
