Q: how to convert an object to array with php?

A: use the following recursive function convertObjectToArray to achieve this.

/**
 * @param mixed $mObject
 * @return array
 */
function convertObjectToArray($mObject)
{
    (is_object($mObject)) ? $mObject = (array) $mObject : false;

    if(is_array($mObject))
    {
        $aNew = array();

        foreach($mObject as $sKey => $mValue)
        {
            $sFirstChar = trim(substr(trim($sKey), 0, 1));
            (('*' === $sFirstChar)) ? $sKey = trim(substr(trim($sKey), 1)) : false;
            $aNew[$sKey] = convertObjectToArray($mValue);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $aNew = $mObject;
    }

    return $aNew;
}
