php - Converting array to an object with an array inside it -

i have array 3 keys , values. need convert first 2 keys object , 3rd must remain array , object inside it.

my array:

$person = array(     'name' => 'bob',     'surname' => 'white',     'address' => array(         'street' => 'green road',         'houseno' => '89',         'city' => 'liverpool'     ) ); 

i want convert array object so:

$personinformation = json_decode(json_encode($person)); 

which gives me this:

object(stdclass)(3) {     'name' => 'bob',     'surname' => 'white',     'address' => object(stdclass)(3)      {           'street' => 'green road',                   'houseno' => '89',          'city' => 'liverpool'     } } 

but after this:

object(stdclass)(3) {     'name' => 'bob',     'surname' => 'white',     'address' => array(        object(stdclass)(3)         {           'street' => 'green road',                   'houseno' => '89',          'city' => 'liverpool'        }    ) } 

i'm stuck on how middle part sorted.

turn values of key address object , reassign it, so:

<?php  $person = array(    'name' => bob,    'surname' => white,    'address' => array(         'city' => 'liverpool',         'street' => 'green road',         'houseno' => "89"     ) );  $address_object = (object) $person['address']; $person = (object) $person; $person->address = array($address_object);  var_dump($person); 

result:

object(stdclass)#2 (3) {   ["name"]=>   string(3) "bob"   ["surname"]=>   string(5) "white"   ["address"]=>   array(1) {     [0]=>     object(stdclass)#1 (3) {       ["city"]=>       string(9) "liverpool"       ["street"]=>       string(10) "green road"       ["houseno"]=>       string(2) "89"     }   } }
