Convert a PHP object to an associative array

Question

I\'m integrating an API to my website which works with data stored in objects while my code is written using arrays.

I\'d like a quick-and-dirty function to convert

Also you can use The Symfony Serializer Component

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Encoder\JsonEncoder;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ObjectNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer;

$serializer = new Serializer([new ObjectNormalizer()], [new JsonEncoder()]);
$array = json_decode($serializer->serialize($object, 'json'), true);
