php-laravelHow do I convert an object to an array in Laravel using PHP?

The easiest way to convert an object to an array in Laravel using PHP is to use the toArray() method. This method will return an array representation of the object.

Example code

$user = User::find(1);
$userArray = $user->toArray();

The $userArray variable will contain an array representation of the object.

The toArray() method will return an array with the object's public properties and their values. It will also include any App\Model relationships.

The following list contains the parts of the code and their explanation:

• $user: this is a User object returned from the find() method.
• $userArray: this is an array representation of the $user object.
• toArray(): this is the method that will convert the object to an array.
