PHP - recursive Array to Object?

Is there a way to convert a multidimensional array to a stdClass object in PHP?

Casting as (object) doesn't seem to work recursively. json_decode(json_encode($array)) produces the result I'm looking for, but there has to be a better way...

Solution

  • As far as I can tell, there is no prebuilt solution for this, so you can just roll your own:

    function array_to_object($array) {
   $obj = new stdClass();

   foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
      if (strlen($k)) {
         if (is_array($v)) {
            $obj->{$k} = array_to_object($v); //RECURSION
         } else {
            $obj->{$k} = $v;
         }
      }
   }
   
   return $obj;
}
