            )
  ) )

Ok i am using 4shared API.

//User credentials on 4shared

$user_login = "email_123@hotmail.com";
$user_password = "password";

$client = new SoapClient("https://api.4shared.com/jax2/DesktopApp?wsdl", array(
"cache_wsdl" => WSDL_CACHE_DISK,
"trace" => 1, 
"exceptions" => 0
)
); 

$client->yourFunction();
//Getting list of all folders 
echo "<pre>";

$getAllItems  = $client->getAllItems ($user_login, $user_password);

print_r  ($getAllItems);

this code is printing the above stdClass object. but i am unable to convert it into array.

Answer 1

Have you tried converting using the get_object_vars(); function?

<?php

function objectToArray($d) {
    if (is_object($d)) {
        // Gets the properties of the given object
        // with get_object_vars function
        $d = get_object_vars($d);
    }

    if (is_array($d)) {
        /*
        * Return array converted to object
        * Using __FUNCTION__ (Magic constant)
        * for recursive call
        */
        return array_map(__FUNCTION__, $d);
    }
    else {
        // Return array
        return $d;
    }
}

?>

Answer 2

You can try to cast that object as an Array:

class myClass {
...
}
$myobj = new myClass();
$myArrObj = (Array) $myobj;

Or you can try to iterate through this object and push all elements to an new array using get_object_vars
