PHP has reserved all method names with a double underscore prefix for future use. See https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php

Currently, in the latest php-stripe library, you can convert the Stripe Object to JSON by simpl calling **->toJSON().

[PREVIOUSLY]

All objects created by the Stripe PHP API library can be converted to JSON with their __toJSON() methods.

Stripe::setApiKey("sk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

$customer = Stripe_Customer::create(array(
    "card" => $token, 
    "plan" => $plan,  
));

$customer_json = $customer->__toJSON();

There is also a __toArray($recursive=false) method. Remember to set true as argument otherwise you will get an array filled with stripe objects.

Stripe::setApiKey("sk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

$customer = Stripe_Customer::create(array(
    "card" => $token, 
    "plan" => $plan,  
));

$customer_array = $customer->__toArray(true);
