PHP converts object data to an array

function  objectToArray( $object ){
        $temp  =  is_object ( $object ) ? get_object_vars( $object ) :  $object ;

        $arr = array ();
        foreach  ( $temp  as  $k  =>  $v ) {
            $v  = ( is_array ( $v ) ||  is_object ( $v )) ? $this->objectToArray( $v ) :  $v ;
            $arr [ $k ] =  $v ;
        }

        return  $arr ;
    }
