Use json_decode() and json_encode()

$array = json_decode(json_encode($object), true);

Where $object is your multi-dimensional nested object.

Explanation:

First JSON encode your object, then JSON decode it.

With second argument associative to TRUE.

This way, you will get an associative array without caring of nested depth.

Create a recursive function

function objectToArray($obj, &$new_array){
    foreach($obj as $key => $value){
       if(is_object($value){
          $new_array[$key] = array();
          objectToArray($value, $new_array[$key]);
       } else {
          $new_array[$key] = $value;
       }

       return $new_array;
    }
}

You can just use typecasting by using (array) in front of the array in question... So for you:

foreach($array as $item) {
    $itemArray = (array)$item;
}

You could typecast your array like the example below:

<?php
$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->test = 'Hello';
var_dump($obj);

$arr = (array)$obj;
var_dump($arr);

Returns:

object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(5) "Hello"
}
array(1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(5) "Hello"
}
