php - Convert object to an array

Question

I have an array. Here is the var_dump of that array.

array (size=2)
  0 => 
    object(stdClass)[266]
      public 'term_id' => string '4' (length=1)
      public 'name' => string 'Test' (length=4)
      public 'slug' => string 'test' (length=4)
      public 'term_group' => string '0' (length=1)
      public 'term_taxonomy_id' => string '4' (length=1)
      public 'taxonomy' => string 'filter' (length=6)
      public 'description' => string '' (length=0)
      public 'parent' => string '0' (length=1)
      public 'count' => string '0' (length=1)
  1 => 
    object(stdClass)[277]
      public 'term_id' => string '5' (length=1)
      public 'name' => string 'test2' (length=5)
      public 'slug' => string 'test2' (length=5)
      public 'term_group' => string '0' (length=1)
      public 'term_taxonomy_id' => string '5' (length=1)
      public 'taxonomy' => string 'filter' (length=6)
      public 'description' => string '' (length=0)
      public 'parent' => string '0' (length=1)
      public 'count' => string '0' (length=1)

Now I would like to convert that array like this.

$choices = array(
  array('label' => 'Test','value' => 'test'),
  array('label' => 'test2','value' => 'test2'),
)

Please note: I mapped keys like this in the choices array

  name key as label
  slug key as value

Can someone tell me how to achieve this?

Update:

This is what I tried so far.

foreach ( $filters as $filter ) { 
$filterarr[] = "array('label' => '". $filter->name ."' ,'value' => '". $filter->slug ."' )"; 
} 
$choices = array($filterarr);

But its not working as expected.

I didn't get your question. Actually I spent more than 1 hour in this. I couldn't get a proper solution. I tried using foreach loop like this. foreach ( $filters as $filter ) { $filterarr[] = "array('label' => '". $filter->name ."' ,'value' => '". $filter->slug ."' )"; } $filter_array = array($filterarr); But its not working properly. Thats why I posted this question. And no i'm not lazy — PrivateUser

Try that

$choices = array();    
$tempArray = array();

for($i=0; $i < count(YOUR_ARRAY); $i++)
{
    $tempArray["label"] = array[$i]->name;
    $tempArray["value"] = array[$i]->slug;

    array_push($choices, $tempArray);
}

Simply typecast your object. And perform the operation you wish as below.

$posts = (array) $yourObject;
$choices = array();
foreach($posts as $post){
   $choices[]['label'] = $post['name'];
   $choices[]['value'] = $post['slug'];
}

You can write something like that, but try to find it by yourself next time it's quite simple.

foreach($your_array as $a)
{
    $choices[] = array('label' => $a['label'],
                       'value' => $a['slug']);
}

Try;

foreach($array as $object){
   $choices[] = array("label" => $object->name, "value" => $object->slug);
}
