从第一个谷歌点击“PHP对象到assoc数组”，我们有:

function object_to_array($data)
{
    if (is_array($data) || is_object($data))
    {
        $result = [];
        foreach ($data as $key => $value)
        {
            $result[$key] = (is_array($value) || is_object($value)) ? object_to_array($value) : $value;
        }
        return $result;
    }
    return $data;
}

与json_decode和json_encode的解决方案相比，这个解决方案似乎更快。下面是一个随机的基准测试(使用简单的时间测量):

$obj = (object) [
    'name'    =>'Mike',
    'surname' =>'Jovanson',
    'age'     =>'45',
    'time'    =>1234567890,
    'country' =>'Germany',
];

* json_decode(json_encode($var))   : 4.15 sec
* object_to_array($var)            : 0.93 sec

下面是一些代码:

function object_to_array($data) {
    if ((! is_array($data)) and (! is_object($data)))
        return 'xxx'; // $data;

    $result = array();

    $data = (array) $data;
    foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
        if (is_object($value))
            $value = (array) $value;
        if (is_array($value))
            $result[$key] = object_to_array($value);
        else
            $result[$key] = $value;
    }
    return $result;
}

您还可以使用Symfony Serializer组件

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Encoder\JsonEncoder;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ObjectNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer;

$serializer = new Serializer([new ObjectNormalizer()], [new JsonEncoder()]);
$array = json_decode($serializer->serialize($object, 'json'), true);

通过依赖JSON编码/解码函数的行为，可以快速将深度嵌套的对象转换为关联数组:

$array = json_decode(json_encode($nested_object), true);

Use:

function readObject($object) {
    $name = get_class ($object);
    $name = str_replace('\\', "\\\\", $name); // Outcomment this line, if you don't use
                                              // class namespaces approach in your project
    $raw = (array)$object;

    $attributes = array();
    foreach ($raw as $attr => $val) {
        $attributes[preg_replace('('.$name.'|\*|)', '', $attr)] = $val;
    }
    return $attributes;
}

它返回一个没有特殊字符和类名的数组。
