You can use Reflection to solve this task. But as usual this is a strong indicator that your class design is somewhat broken. However:

function objectToArray($obj) {
    // Create a reflection object
    $refl = new ReflectionClass($obj);

    // Retrieve the properties and strip the ReflectionProperty objects down
    // to their values, accessing even private members.
    return array_map(function($prop) use ($obj) {
        $prop->setAccessible(true);
        return $prop->getValue($obj);
    }, $refl->getProperties());
}

// Usage:
$arr = objectToArray( new Foo() );
