Doctrine 2 toArray() method until we have traits?

Question

I really need a way to cast my entity to an Array. I know can do it manually but doing to on each entity is painfull, more working with relationship will not be easy.

How do you do? Have you implemented anything like that?

You can use get_class_methods to find the getters:

function toArray($object)
{
    $result = array();
    $methods = get_class_methods($object);
    foreach($methods as $method) {
        if ('get' == substr($method, 0, 3)) {
            $result[substr($method, 3)] = $object->$method();
        }
    }
    return $result;
}

mm but what about relationships? – JohnT Aug 10 '11 at 08:32
If the method return an object, use recursion. – Maxence Aug 10 '11 at 11:59
yeah I know, I mean, but the problem is on infinite loops because of bidirectionnal relationships – JohnT Aug 10 '11 at 13:48

Just add an array with the class names of the enties that you have passed and only do the recursive part if you haven't already visited that class. – Max Gordon Aug 10 '11 at 19:09
