How to Cast Objects in PHP

Question

Ive some classes that share some attributes, and i would like to do something like:

$dog = (Dog) $cat;

is it possible or is there any gener

Answer 1

PHP provides a very simple way of doing this by using:

(object) ['id'=>1,'name'=>'cat']

In your case you try this:

$dog = json_encode($dog);

$cat = (object) json_decode($dog)
