I use stdClass
to convert an array to an object,
function array_to_object($array)
{
if(!is_array($array)) {
return $array;
}
$object = new stdClass();
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
$key = (string) $key ;
$object->$key = is_array($value) ? array_to_object($value) : $value;
}
return $object;
}
$type = array(
"category" => "admin",
"person" => "unique"
);
$type = array_to_object($type);
var_dump($type->category); // string(5) "admin"
and of course an error when I want to get the property which is not set in the array in the first place,
var_dump($type->image);
error message,
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$image in C:\wamp\www\test\2012\php\array_to_object.php on line 52
NULL
I wonder if I can make the function to return null
if no property is found?
var_dump($type->image); //NULL
EDIT:
Decided to make that function above into a class, but still cannot get __get()
working properly,
class objectify
{
public function __get($name)
{
if (isset($this->$name) === true){
return $this->$name;
} else {
return null;
}
}
public function array_to_object($array)
{
if(!is_array($array)) {
return $array;
}
$object = self::__get($name);
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
$key = (string) $key ;
$object->$key = is_array($value) ? self::array_to_object($value) : $value;
}
return $object;
}
}
$object = new objectify();
$type = array(
"category" => "admin",
"person" => "unique"
);
$type = $object->array_to_object($type);
var_dump($type->category);
var_dump($type->image);
error message,
Notice: Undefined variable: name in C:\wamp\www\test\2012\php\array_to_object.php on line 85
string(5) "admin"
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$image in C:\wamp\www\test\2012\php\array_to_object.php on line 107
NULL
I think this line is where the error from but I don't know what to do with it...
$object = self::__get($name);
