PHP - Convert foreach to arrays

Anyone can help me
I have a little problem with the following code

foreach ($products as $product) {
   $product->name;
   $product->code;
   ...
}

My output code with var_dump($products)

array
    0 =>
      object(stdClass)
       ...
       ...
       ...
    1 =>
      object(stdClass)
       ...
       ...
       ...

And I need output something like this

$output = array(
    array('name' => 'item1', 'code' => 'code1', 'price' => '10.00'),
    array('name' => 'item2', 'code' => 'code2', 'price' => '20.00')
);

For this purpose, there is a function is php json_decode()

mixed json_decode ( string $json [, bool $assoc = false [, int $depth = 512 [, int $options = 0 ]]] )

Need to use this function sensibly.

As you see in the function description,

The function's three parameters:

1) Variable to be converted.

2) Return as associative array.

3) Depth: default => 512. Means upto depth of 512 levels (in case of multi-dimensional array or complex object), the child elements will be converted into arrays if second parameter is set to true.

First encode your variable by json_encode() and the decode it with using json_decode().

json_decode() 's second parameter should be set to true.

This true means return associative array instead of original type.

Pseudo code:

$output = json_decode(json_encode($yourVar), TRUE);
