Accesing a Object array in PHP and convert it to Simple Array

Question

I am trying to accessing a array, which is return by Soap class. But I am not able to iterate it. Please help. $server_output = curl_exec ($ch);

Variable $server_output has following return from Curl,

CalculatePremiumStructGeneratePolicyResponse Object
    (
        [GeneratePolicyResult] =&gt; <response><policyno></policyno><totalpremium>0</totalpremium><gc_customerid>100000000000192979</gc_customerid><transactionid>FT10317050001414</transactionid><errortext> Error In Proposal Creation. Error in User Entry:   
     Maximum Days For Past Policy Should Be 7</errortext></response>
        [result:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [lastError:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterate:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterateIsArray:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterateOffset:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
    )

I want to convert above into simple array

 Array
    ( 
        [GeneratePolicyResult] =&gt; <response><policyno></policyno><totalpremium>0</totalpremium><gc_customerid>100000000000192979</gc_customerid><transactionid>FT10317050001414</transactionid><errortext> Error In Proposal Creation. Error in User Entry:   
     Maximum Days For Past Policy Should Be 7</errortext></response>
        [result] =&gt; 
        [lastError] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterate] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterateIsArray] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterateOffset] =&gt; 
    )

Please help!

Edit Note :- When I try to print gettype($server_output), it says its a string.

you cannot access private property of object array. So you need to change initial-one to get data as public property — Death-is-the-real-truth

GeneratePolicyResult is not private. At least we can access it. @Alive to Die' — Shail

just try

$array =  (array) $yourObject;

or use something like this(for public variables only)

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

This is unlikely to be a viable solution in most use cases, as simply casting the object to an array can mess with the keys

Vlad Chornyi Over a year ago

@WilliamPerron you can write some function

William Perron Over a year ago

The proposed function still has the same issue where it might mess with key names, especially for private properties

Vlad Chornyi Over a year ago

@WilliamPerron with this function you lose all private and protacted variables for sure... first method change their names

Vlad Chornyi Over a year ago

@WilliamPerron but i think if it private, you have not to get them at all...only with special functions

it might help you.

$object = CalculatePremiumStructGeneratePolicyResponse Object
    (
        [GeneratePolicyResult] =&gt; <response><policyno></policyno><totalpremium>0</totalpremium><gc_customerid>100000000000192979</gc_customerid><transactionid>FT10317050001414</transactionid><errortext> Error In Proposal Creation. Error in User Entry:   
     Maximum Days For Past Policy Should Be 7</errortext></response>
        [result:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [lastError:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterate:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterateIsArray:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
        [internArrayToIterateOffset:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private] =&gt; 
    );
$array = json_decode(json_encode($object), True);

After a lot of try and solutions available on Stackflow, none of works, But When i check the type of variable, it was saying string.

gettype($server_output) was printing string.

So It was a string object. SoI decided to take it as string and try to parse it.

$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);  
$data = explode(" [GeneratePolicyResult] =>", $server_output); 
$data = explode("[result:CalculatePremiumWsdlClass:private]", $data[1]);

And in this way,I have filter the "GeneratePolicyResult"
