note 102735 added to language.types.object

Have an stdClass and want to convert it recursively to an array, or vice versa? Here's two very simple functions.

<?php
	# A static class of mine, has more conversions in it, yet these two are the relevent ones.
	final class Convert {
		# Convert a stdClass to an Array.
		static public function object_to_array(stdClass $Class){
			# Typecast to (array) automatically converts stdClass -> array.
			$Class = (array)$Class;
			
			# Iterate through the former properties looking for any stdClass properties.
			# Recursively apply (array).
			foreach($Class as $key => $value){
				if(is_object($value)&&get_class($value)==='stdClass'){
					$Class[$key] = self::object_to_array($value);
				}
			}
			return $Class;
		}
		
		# Convert an Array to stdClass.
		static public function array_to_object(array $array){
			# Iterate through our array looking for array values.
			# If found recurvisely call itself.
			foreach($array as $key => $value){
				if(is_array($value)){
					$array[$key] = self::array_to_object($value);
				}
			}
			
			# Typecast to (object) will automatically convert array -> stdClass
			return (object)$array;
		}
	}
?>
