Answer 1

Have you tried casting the object to an array?

$array = (array) $object;

There's also a function available here or if you're using PHP >= 5.2 you could use the native JSON functions, decoding with true as the second param to force an associative array:

$json  = json_encode($object);
$array = json_decode($json, true);

Answer 2

You should look at get_object_vars , as your properties are declared private you should call this inside the class and return its results.

Be careful, for primitive data types like strings it will work greate, but i dont know how it behaves with nested object.
