use serialize to convert object to string format.


$obj = new obj();
serialize($obj);


you can also string to object with unserialize ,


$j=unserialize($obj);
print_r($j);



$j=unserialize($obj);
print_r($j);




class obj {
	public $id='';
	public $name='';
	public $desc='';
	public $user='';

function __toString(){
   return serialize($this);
}

}

json_encode used to convert array to string , convert object to array by casting conversion


class obj {
	public $id='';
	public $name='';
	public $desc='';
	public $user='';

function __toString(){
   return json_encode((array)$this);
}

}
