php - Cast object to stdClass -

i have database model __get , __set functions prevent dynamic creation of properties (to prevent typing mistakes):

class usermodel {     public $name;     public $languagecode; // f.e. "en", "nl", ...      public function __get($name)     {         throw new exception("$name not member");     }     public function __set($name, $value)     {         throw new exception("$name not member");     } } 

now, have array of usermodel instances ($users) want pass templating engine. therefore, want run array_map on array , add additional property languagetext, used in template.

$users = array_map(function ($v) {     $v = (object)$v; // doesn't cast away usermodel type     $v->languagetext = getlanguagetext($v->languagecode);     return $v; }, $users); // pass $users templating engine 

of course line $v->languagetext = ... throws error because try add dynamic property. tried this: $v = (object)$v; cast usermodel object stdclass, type unchanged. ideas how cast away usermodel without having serialize/unserialize data?

i'm using php 5.3.5

you have double cast want...

$v = (object)(array)$v;
