Convert laravel object to array

Question

Laravel output:

Array
(
    [0] = stdClass Object
    (
        [ID] = 5

    )

    [1] = stdClass Object
    (
        [ID] = 4

    )

)

Answer 1

$res = ActivityServer::query()->select('channel_id')->where(['id' => $id])->first()->attributesToArray();

I use get(), it returns an object, I use the attributesToArray() to change the object attribute to an array.

Answer 2

Object to array

$array = (array) $players_Obj;  

$object = new StdClass;
$object->foo = 1;
$object->bar = 2;

var_dump( (array) $object );

Output:

array(2) {
    'foo' => int(1)
    'bar' => int(2)
}

Answer 3

I suggest you simply do this within your method

public function MyAwesomeMethod($returnQueryAs = null)
{
    $tablename = 'YourAwesomeTable';

    if($returnQueryAs == 'array')
    {
        DB::connection()->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    }

    return DB::table($tablename)->get();
}

With this all you need is to pass the string 'array' as your argument and Voila! An Associative array is returned.

Answer 4

UPDATE since version 5.4 of Laravel it is no longer possible.

You can change your db config, like @Varun suggested, or if you want to do it just in this very case, then:

DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

// then
DB::table(..)->get(); // array of arrays instead of objects

// of course to revert the fetch mode you need to set it again
DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS);

For New Laravel above 5.4 (Ver > 5.4) see https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/upgrade fetch mode section

Event::listen(StatementPrepared::class, function ($event) {
    $event->statement->setFetchMode(...);
});

Answer 5

Just in case somebody still lands here looking for an answer. It can be done using plain PHP. An easier way is to reverse-json the object.

function objectToArray(&$object)
{
    return @json_decode(json_encode($object), true);
}

Answer 6

Its very simple. You can use like this :-

Suppose You have one users table and you want to fetch the id only
$users = DB::table('users')->select('id')->get();
$users = json_decode(json_encode($users)); //it will return you stdclass object
$users = json_decode(json_encode($users),true); //it will return you data in array
echo '<pre>'; print_r($users);

Hope it helps
