How can I convert an array like this to an object?
[128] => Array
(
[status] => "Figure A.
Facebook's horizontal scrollbars showing up on a 1024x768 screen resolution."
)
[129] => Array
(
[status] => "The other day at work, I had some spare time"
)
In the simplest case, it’s probably sufficient to “cast” the array as an object:
$object = (object) $array;
Another option would be to instantiate a standard class as a variable, and loop through your array while re-assigning the values:
$object = new stdClass();
foreach ($array as $key => $value)
{
$object->$key = $value;
}
As Edson Medina pointed out, a really clean solution is to use the built-in json_ functions:
$object = json_decode(json_encode($array), FALSE);
This also (recursively) converts all of your sub arrays into objects, which you may or may not want. Unfortunately it has a 2-3x performance hit over the looping approach.
Warning! (thanks to Ultra for the comment):
json_decode on different enviroments converts UTF-8 data in different ways. I end up getting on of values ‘240.00’ locally and ‘240’ on production – massive dissaster. Morover if conversion fails string get’s returned as NULL
