Simon Holywell<\/a> shows how to quickly create the stdClass in PHP and populate it with properties and values, by casting an array to an object:<\/p>\n

\r\n$x = (object) [\r\n    'a' => 'test',\r\n    'b' => 'test2',\r\n    'c' => 'test3'\r\n];\r\nvar_dump($x);\r\n\r\n\/*\r\nobject(stdClass)#1 (3) {\r\n  ["a"]=>\r\n  string(4) "test"\r\n  ["b"]=>\r\n  string(5) "test2"\r\n  ["c"]=>\r\n  string(5) "test3"\r\n}\r\n*\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
A couple of things to keep in mind here are:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. In PHP, an associative array key have multiple same keys. \u00a0If you cast such an associative array to object, the latest key will silently overwrite the value of the previous ones.<\/li>\n
  2. The order of properties in the object will not necessarily match the order of keys in the associative array.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Very handy!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
