How to convert php array into an object

In the process of PHP programming, we often need to convert an array into an object in order to operate and process it more conveniently. The following will introduce how to convert a PHP array into an object.

1. Using cast

You can use cast in PHP to convert an array into an object. The following is a code example:

$array = array('name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 18);
$obj = (object) $array;

The above code will force the array $array into an object $obj. At this time, the properties in object $obj can be accessed through the object property accessor ->, such as $obj->name and $obj->age .

However, it should be noted that this method can only convert key-value pairs in the array into attributes, and the key names of the array will be used as attribute names.

2. Using reflection classes

The reflection class (ReflectionClass) in PHP provides the newInstanceWithoutConstructor method, which can be created dynamically an object. The following is a code example:

$array = array('name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 18);
$className = 'MyClass'; // 该类名可以根据实际情况自行定义
$obj = new ReflectionClass($className);
$newObj = $obj->newInstanceWithoutConstructor();

With this method, you can create an empty object $newObj, and then assign key-value pairs to the object properties by traversing the array.

3. Use json decoding

PHP provides a method to convert JSON strings into objects, which plays the role of converting arrays into objects. You can use the json_encode method to convert the array into a JSON string, and then use json_decode to convert the JSON string into an object. The following is a code example:

$array = array('name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 18);
$obj = json_decode(json_encode($array));

Using this method, the array $array can be converted into an object $obj without losing the data type.

Summary

The above are three methods to convert a PHP array into an object, force conversion, reflection class, and JSON decoding. Different methods should be chosen according to the situation. However, it should be noted that when the array key name and object property name are repeated, using the first method may cause data loss, so it needs to be used with caution.
